Mangromedes is a genus of spiders in the family Dolomedidae. The genus was established in 2018 and was initially placed in the family Pisauridae, but was transferred to the resurrected family Dolomedidae in 2025 based on molecular phylogenetic studies.
==Etymology== The genus name is derived from "mangroves", reflecting the habitat where these spiders occur, combined with Dolomedes, a related genus of fishing spiders.
