Cyclosa omonaga is a species of orb-weaver spider in the family Araneidae. The species name "omonaga" (おもなが) comes from the Japanese word meaning "long-faced", referring to the shape of the carapace.[1]

The species was first described by Akio Tanikawa in 1992 based on specimens collected from various locations across Japan.[1] Prior to its formal description, specimens of this species had been misidentified as other Cyclosa species, including C. insulana, C. japonica, and others in various publications.[1]
