Pelegrina is a genus of spiders in the jumping spider family Salticidae. They are found throughout North America. Many of the species in the genus Pelegrina were previously placed in the genus Metaphidippus, and before that, in Dendryphantes. The genus was erected in 1930 by the Spanish arachnologist PelegrÃn Franganillo Balboa, who named it after himself.
