Zygiella is a genus of orb-weaver spiders that can be found globally. They are notable for their webs having a missing sector with it having only a single tread.

It was first described by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1902. In 2015, Parazygiella was determined to be a taxonomic synonym of Zygiella, and its species were moved to Zygiella.
