In this study, we report the discovery of two invasive freshwater mollusc species belonging to the genus Galba (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae) on the territory of Azerbaijan. This is the first record of the species Galba cubensis  and G. schirazensis in this country, based on the analysis of morphological traits and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI marker). Also, the phylogeographic analyses of both species were performed based on a median-joining network approach of the COI sequences. The find of G. cubensis is the first record of this invasive snail of New World origin in the ex-USSR territory. The taxonomic position of G. schirazensis sensu Kruglov et Starobogatov is discussed.
