幽灵蛛科(学名:Pholcidae),是蜘蛛目中的一个科,其下的物种通称为幽灵蜘蛛,是家中常见的蜘蛛。
幽灵蜘蛛体态纤细,腿部细长,所以在英语中又被称为“长腿叔叔”(daddy longlegs)。外貌与盲蛛相似,外观容易混淆。幽灵蜘蛛体型小、看似纤细,但这些特点却有益于幽灵蜘蛛捕食猎物,甚至是同类。幽灵蜘蛛通常使用纤长的腿把猎物制住,确保猎物停留在攻击范围内。幽灵蜘蛛有一对毒牙,毒性并不强。当幽灵蜘蛛遇上危险,会以上下及左右的摆幅来避开攻击。
较常见的幽灵蜘蛛大多利用腹部使力,上下摇动。
幽灵蜘蛛喜欢吃比自己大型的蜘蛛,牠们自然界的天敌有蜈蚣和大兰多毒蛛等。
幽灵蜘蛛算是世界上分布十分广泛的蜘蛛,从极北的堪察加半岛到有世界屋脊之称的青藏高原,最后到靠近南极的火地岛均能找到牠的踪迹,目前全世界只有南极州、冰岛、格陵兰岛和加拿大极北之地没有幽灵蜘蛛的存在。
