叶螨科（學名：Tetranychidae）是蛛形綱蜱蟎亞綱真螨目之下的一個科。葉蟎科有些物種為害果樹，被泛稱為果螨，俗称红蜘蛛或黄蜘蛛等，皆為植食性動物，身長從200到900微米不等，生活於植物的葉底，紡出具保護作用的絲，也會刺穿植物的細胞來進食。由於這個會「紡絲」的特性，葉蟎科在英語也被叫作「蛛蟎」。受葉蟎科物種「青睞」的植物有數百個物種。 葉蟎科所屬的葉蟎總科是前氣門亞目Eleutherengonides下目Raphignathina小目之下五個總科之一。本科的物種有95個屬、約1200個物種（準確來說，有1288個物種）。由於物種眾多，一般會再細分為兩大亞科（苔蟎亞科跟葉蟎亞科）和多個族。
