Daphnella sabrina is a small sea snail in the family Raphitomidae. The shell grows to about 5 mm long and 3 mm wide. It is a delicate white, oval-fusiform shell with many fine oblique spiral ridges: two ridges on the third-from-last whorl, three on the second-from-last, and five on the body whorl, with one ridge especially noticeable at the edge. The shell has strong cross-hatching and eight whorls. The first three to four whorls are ochre-colored and finely cross-hatched; the later whorls have indentations at the sutures. The opening is wide and oval, the siphonal canal short, the outer lip thin, and the columella stands nearly upright. The sinus is wide but shallow. This species occurs in the Gulf of Oman.
