Neoscona crucifera is an orb-weaver spider in the family Araneidae.

It is found in the United States from Maine to Florida in the east, to Minnesota in the Midwest, to Arizona in the southwest, southern California coastal communities and in Mexico.

The legs display alternating light and dark brown bands.

The orb-shaped web is very large and is often constructed on buildings and other man-made structures, often several feet above ground, especially near outdoor lights.

This species is most conspicuous in late summer and early fall.
