Calponia is a genus of spider containing only one species, Calponia harrisonfordi. It was discovered in 1993 by the arachnologist Norman I. Platnick, and named after the film actor Harrison Ford to thank him for narrating a documentary for the Natural History Museum in London. It is one of the most primitive members of the Caponiidae family.
