Sabinella opalina is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae.
Description (Original description) The imperforate shell is rather elongate. It is opaque, shining, opaline, and darkly spotted with red. The spire is conic, attenuated, and tapering to a subacute apex. The 10 whorls increase slowly in diameter and are united by a simple suture; the body whorl is equal to one-third the altitude of the entire shell and is strongly depressed at the base. The aperture is subquadrate, the margin is slightly thickened, and the columella is reflected.
Distribution This species occurs off Negritos Islands Biological Reserve, Costa Rica.
