The black house spider or common black spider (Badumna insignis) is a common species of cribellate Australian spider, introduced to New Zealand and Japan. A closely related species, Badumna longinqua, the grey house spider, has a similar distribution, but has also been introduced to the Americas.^[2]

Ludwig Carl Christian Koch described Badumna insignis in 1872.^[1]
