In mollusks, torsion refers to:

- the winding of the shell and the visceral mass
- the ability to draw the head into the shell
- an anterior-trending twisting of the digestive tract
- the retraction of the radula into the pharyngeal cavity
- posterior-trending spiraling of the nerve cord
- lack of a torso
- the loss of the so-called "swimming organ"

This list outlines various concepts related to the term "torsion" in mollusks, a process of significant biological and anatomical changes.
