Araneus angulatus is a species of orb-weaving spider found in the Palaearctic. It resembles the European garden spider Araneus diadematus but has distinctive tubercles on its abdomen. The species was first described in Aranei Svecici in 1757 where it was the first species described making Araneus angulatus the first scientific name of an animal that is still in use.
