Harpactea hombergi is genus of spiders in the family Dysderidae. It is native to Europe.
In 1763, Giovanni Antonio Scopoli described a spider under the name Aranea hombergii. In 1830, Charles Walckenaer transferred the species to the genus Dysdera as Dysdera hombergi. In 1835, the genus name "Harpactes" was published for a taxon split off from Dysdera. Authors such as Eugène Simon in 1893 used this genus name for H. hombergi, but when published, Harpactes had already been used for a bird genus, so it was not available. In 1939, W. S. Bristowe published the replacement name Harpactea, with this species becoming Harpactea hombergi.
Mature males of Harpactea hombergi have a body length of, mature females . The cephalothorax is dark brown, narrowing towards the front. The abdomen is greyish, forming a relatively narrow tube, particularly in males. It has been described as "sausage-shaped". The legs are pale brown with darker rings.
Harpactea hombergi is widespread throughout Europe, including Britain, and has been described as "fairly common". In the daytime, it is found in a silken cell under bark, stones, and similar debris. It emerges at night to hunt a variety of invertebrates.
