Caladenia leptochila subsp. leptochila, commonly known as the narrow-lipped spider orchid, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It has a single leaf and one or two yellowish or red flowers. It differs from subspecies leptochila in the colour of its flowers, lack of toothed edges to its labellum, and its distribution.
The narrow-lipped spider orchid occurs in the south-east of South Australia where it grows in clay or gravelly soils in shrubby forest in the Mount Lofty ranges. It is thought to have been common in Victoria in the past but is now probably extinct in that state.
