Menemerus nigli is a species of jumping spider that was first found in Pakistan. A member of the genus Menemerus, the male was described in 2012 by Wanda Wesołowska and Mario Freudenschuss and the female by Pir Asmat Ali, Wayne Maddison, Muhammad Zahid and Abida Butt in 2018. It was originally only found in Asia but has also been introduced into Brazil, the first specimen being identified in 2020. First found amongst stones, it seems to thrive synanthropically amongst the sunlit stucco walls that are common in cities across the region.
