Sason colemani is a species of trapdoor spider in the Barychelidae family. It has only been found in a natural swamp inside the Botanical Gardens in Cairns, Queensland. The spider builds a short, tube‑like retreat with a door at each end on tree bark; when one door opens, the other closes to protect it. Similar retreats are built by Paracenobiopelma gerecormophilum and some Cyphonisia species.
