Hexura picea is a species of folding-door spider in the family Antrodiaetidae. Endemic to North America, its distribution is confined to the Pacific Northwest, extending from southern Oregon to the Canadian border. This mygalomorph spider was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1885. Notably, in 2019, taxonomic revisions prompted its reclassification from the family Mecicobothriidae to Antrodiaetidae.
