Leptathamas is a spider genus of the Salticidae family (jumping spiders) with one described species, which occurs only in New Guinea.
The genus seems to be closely related to Athamas and Bulolia, occupying a "midway" position between them.
The genus name is a combination of Ancient Greek lepto "slender, fine" and the name of the related genus Athamas.
