Venator marginatus is a wolf spider (i.e., in the Lycosidae family), endemic to Australia and found in Victoria.

[2][3] It was described in 1900 by Henry Roughton Hogg.

[2][1] However, in 2015 Volker Framenau declared it "incerta sedis", stating that it was known from two female specimens, the morphology of whose genitalia failed to match those of the genus.
