Ansienulina is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae. It was first described in 2015 by Wanda Wesołowska. This genus was named in honour of South African arachnologist Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman.[2] As of 2017, it contains only one species, Ansienulina mirabilis, found in Kenya, Angola, and Namibia.[1]

Wesołowska placed the genus in the subfamily Thiratoscirtinae,[3] which Maddison reduced to the subtribe Thiratoscirtina in the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae.[4]
