Erigone (Ἠριγόνη) may refer to:
Erigoninae are the largest subfamily of sheet weavers (Linyphiidae), which is itself the second largest spider family. In the United States they are known as dwarf spiders, while they are called money spiders in England. The exact taxonomic limits of the subfamily are not yet known.
Erigone is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Jean Victoire Audouin in 1826. They are carnivorous, preying on small insects such as psylla and flies. One of the distinctive characters for this genus is the presence of teeth bordering the carapace.
Erigone aletris is a spider species found in the USA, Canada, Scotland and Italy.
Sauron is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by K. Y. Eskov & Y. M. Marusik in 1995. They reach a body length of 1.25 to 2 millimetres. The genus name is derived from Sauron, a character in the books of J. R. R. Tolkien.
Hypomma is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by David B. Hirst in 1886.
Macrargus is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1886.
Microctenonyx is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1886.
Moebelia is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Friedrich Dahl in 1886. As of May 2019 it contains only three species, found in China, Germany, and Russia: M. berolinensis, M. penicillata, and M. rectangula.
Silometopus elegans is a species of spiders in the family Linyphiidae found in Europe. It was first described by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1873, as Erigone elegans. It was transferred to the genus Silometopus by Eugène Simon in 1884.
Erigone autumnalis is a species of dwarf spiders in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in North and Central America, and it has been introduced to Azores, Europe, United Arab Emirates, and New Caledonia.
Erigone blaesa is a species of dwarf spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the USA and Canada.
Erigone atra is a species of dwarf spider or money spider, in the family Linyphiidae. It is commonly found in North America, Europe, parts of Russia, Central Asia, China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. This spider is one of the most common Erigone spiders. E. atra is an important spider for agriculture, as it preys on pests such as aphids which are commonly found on crops. E. atra spiders are aeronautical spiders, as they travel via ballooning. This technique, sometimes referred to as kiting, allows E. atra spiders to traverse large distances and find new habitats when environmental or human stresses create unfit living environments. E. atra is difficult to differentiate from other congeneric species because of their similar sizes and coloring.
Clubiona kastoni, the kaston sac spider, is a species of sac spider in the family Clubionidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Trachelas tranquillus, the broad-faced sac spider, is a species of true spider in the family Trachelidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.

Mastophora phrynosoma is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in the United States. Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.
