Rhodope veranii is a species of small meiofaunal sea slug, a shell-less vermiform gastropod mollusk in the family Rhodopidae. Its worm-like body structure differs considerably from typical gastropods, to the point of being mistaken for a flatworm in the past. It is the type species of the genus Rhodope.
