Falcileptoneta hwanseonensis is a species of spider in the family Leptonetidae.

It was first described by Joon Namkung in 1987 as Leptoneta hwanseonensis,[1][2] but in 2015, Bo Keun Seo transferred it to the genus Falcileptoneta.[3][4]

It is a cave-dwelling species[5] and was named after Hwanseon Cave in Gangwon-do where the type specimens were collected.[2]

The species is endemic to Korea.[5]
