Barahna is a genus of Australian spiders in the family Desidae (intertidal spiders) that was first described by V. T. Davies in 2003.[2] The name is derived from baran-barahn, the Bundjalung word for "spider".[2] Originally placed with the Stiphidiidae,[2] it was moved to the Desidae after the results of a 2017 genetic study.[3]
