Mangora acalypha, also known by its common name cricket-bat orbweaver, is a species of spider in the family Araneidae, found throughout the Palearctic realm. This species was originally described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1802 as Aranea acalypha.

Mangora acalypha is considered a garden pest because they often build their webs in gardens, which can be unsightly and interfere with plant growth. Additionally, they may capture and consume beneficial insects, disrupting the natural balance of the garden ecosystem.
