Galianora is a genus of jumping spiders (family Salticidae).

The two described species have quite a different body form: G. sacha is elongate and pale, with raptorial front legs, while G. bryicola is compact and brown. An as-yet undescribed species from Venezuela is intermediate in body form and palp.

The genus is named in honour of arachnologist María Elena Galiano. Both described species are only found in Ecuador.
