Allococalodes is a genus of Papuan jumping spiders that was first described by F. R. Wanless in 1982. As of October 2026 it contains only three species, found only in New Guinea: A. alticeps, A. cornutus, and A. madidus. It is closely related the genus Cocalodes. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek ἄλλος ("allo"), meaning "other", and the genus Cocalodes.
