The Deinopoidea or deinopoids are group of cribellate araneomorph spiders that may be treated as a superfamily. As usually circumscribed, the group contains two families: Deinopidae and Uloboridae.

Some studies have produced cladograms in which the Deinopoidea are paraphyletic. A review in 2014 concluded that "at this time the monophyly of Deinopoidea remains dubious".
