'''''Langona''''' is a [[genus]] of [[spider]]s in the family [[Salticidae]] (jumping spiders). ''Langona'' species are similar to those of the genus ''[[Aelurillus]]''.<ref>Murphy & Murphy 2000: 275</ref> In 2015, it was listed in the subtribe [[Aelurillina]]. The subtribe is allocated to the [[Tribe (biology)|tribe]] Aelurillini in the [[Clade (biology)|clade]] Saltafresia.{{sfn|Maddison|2015|page=279}} In 2017, it was grouped with nine other genera of jumping spiders under the name Aelurillines.{{sfn|Prószyński|2017|page=95}}
