Cybaeopsis is a genus of spiders in the Amaurobiidae family found in North America and, for C. typica, Russia and Japan. Members of this genus closely resemble those of the genus Callobius, especially the females. It was first described in 1907 by Strand, and transferred from Agelenidae to Amaurobiidae by Lehtinen in 1967. As of 2017, it contains ten described species.C. crassa and C. infumata have both been moved to the Cuban genus, Tugana, and several species have synonyms with the name "Amaurobius", such as C. armipotens and C tibialis. It is considered a senior synonym of Callioplus, but not of Alauximus, which is a synonym of Tugana.

Cybaeopsis comprises the following species:
