Chinattus taiwanensis is a species of jumping spider (family Salticidae) found exclusively in Taiwan.[1]

This spider has a body length (excluding legs) of 3.9 mm. The carapace is dark brown, black towards the margins; the legs and the roughly cylindrical abdomen are greyish-black, the latter marked dorsally with four depressions and five pale curved bands and laterally with numerous diagonal black lines.[2]

It can be distinguished from the similar Chinattus validus by the shape of the palps.[2]
