Echeclus is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders).

One of its two described species, E. concinnus, is endemic to Malaysia. The species was originally described by Thorell from a single male specimen from Penang. It is preserved in the Museo Civico of Genoa. Another male specimen was found in Johor by Frances and John Murphy.[1]

The other species, E. sokoli, is found in Borneo.[2]
