Langelurillus kenyaensis is a species of jumping spider in the genus Langelurillus that is endemic in Kenya. It was first described in 2016 by Angelika Dawidowicz and Wanda Wesołowska, and is named after the country where it was first identified. The spider is small, with a black oval carapace that is typically 2.8 mm (0.11 in) long and a blackish-grey spherical abdomen 2.2 mm (0.087 in) long. The short legs are orangish-brown have large dark markings, brown hairs and brown spines. Only the female has been described. It has a small epigyne and longer seminal ducts that are looped, which distinguishes it from the otherwise similar Langelurillus primus.
