Myrmarachne uniseriata is a species of spider of the family Salticidae. It is native to India and Sri Lanka.[1][2] In Sri Lanka, the species was found in the Ethagala range of Kurunegala District. The species can easily identified by the reddish orange-coloured carapace and dorsally flat chelicerae of male.[3]

The species was first described by Narayan in 1915. Separately, Myrmarachne aurantiaca was described by Benjamin in 2015. In 2017, Caleb and Benjamin reduced the latter name to a synonym of Myrmarachne uniseriata.[1]
