Oxyopes subabebae is a species of spider in the family Oxyopidae. It is commonly known as a lynx spider.
Oxyopes subabebae occurs in Ethiopia and South Africa. In South Africa, the species is known only from KwaZulu-Natal.
The species has been found on grasses in the Savanna biome at 1,498 m above sea level. It appears to be under-sampled and is expected to occur in additional African countries beyond its currently known range.
Oxyopes subabebae is listed as Least Concern by the South African National Biodiversity Institute due to its wide geographic range across Africa, despite being under-collected. The large distance between collection areas suggests the species may be more widespread than current records indicate.
