Dirksia is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Cybaeidae. It was first described by R. V. Chamberlin & Wilton Ivie in 1942 as a subgenus of Ethobuella. Originally placed with the funnel weavers, it was elevated to genus and moved to the dwarf sheet spiders in 1967, then moved to the Cybaeidae in 2017.
