Cicurina, also called the cave meshweaver, is a genus in the spider family Cicurinidae. It was first described by Anton Menge in 1871. The name is from the Latin root "cucur-", meaning "to tame".

Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was moved to the Dictynidae in 1967, then to the Hahniidae in 2017. In 2023, it was moved to the Cicurinidae.
