Platevindex is a genus of air-breathing sea slugs, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Onchidiidae.
Platevindex slugs live in intertidal habitats of the Indo-West Pacific. Most Platevindex species are found in mangrove forests, but some species may be found in salt marshes or on coral rubble near mangrove trees. These slugs are characterized by their dorso-ventrally flattened body and a very narrow foot.
