Tanzania is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by A. Ö. Koçak & M. Kemal in 2008. They are very small spiders, with body lengths ranging from 1.5 to 3 millimetres (0.059 to 0.118 in). Both sexes look alike, but the females are sometimes darker. It is related to the Euophrys and Talavera.
