Cheiramiona ansiae, or Ansie's long-legged sac spider, is a South African spider in the Cheiracanthiidae family. It was first described from Ceres near Touws River in the Western Cape. The species is known from two provinces and ten protected areas, living at elevations of about 17 to 1,333 meters above sea level. It is a free-living spider that researchers often catch in the humus layer and on mixed vegetation in the Fynbos and Thicket biomes. Because it has a wide geographical range, it is listed as Least Concern on the SANBI Red List. It is protected in several areas, including Addo Elephant National Park, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Bontebok National Park, and Table Mountain National Park.
