The Deinopoidea or deinopoids are group of cribellate araneomorph spiders that may be treated as a superfamily.[2] As usually circumscribed, the group contains two families: Deinopidae and Uloboridae.[1]

Some studies have produced cladograms in which the Deinopoidea are paraphyletic.[3] A review in 2014 concluded that "at this time the monophyly of Deinopoidea remains dubious".[4]
