Algidia is a genus in the harvestman family Triaenonychidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and currently includes 7 species and several subspecies.
== Taxonomy == The genus Algidia was erected by Henry R. Hogg in 1920. The type species is Algidia cuspidata Hogg, 1920. Ray Forster initially considered Algidia to be a synonym of Adaeum but re-established Algidia when he revised the genus in his 1954 monograph on the New Zealand Laniatores.
