'''''Latouchia''''' is a genus of Asian mygalomorph spiders in the family Halonoproctidae, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901.<ref name=Poco1901>{{cite journal| last=Pocock| first=R. I.| year=1901| title=On some new trap-door spiders from China.| journal=Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London| pages=207–215| volume=70| issue=2| doi=10.1111/j.1469-7998.1901.tb08540.x| url=https://zenodo.org/record/1977404}}</ref> The genus is presumably named in honour of John David Digues La Touche (who is named as "J. de La Touche" alongside "C. B. Rickett") as co-collector of the first described species ''Latouchia fossoria''.
Originally placed with the family Ctenizidae, the genus was moved to the Halonoproctidae in 2018.<ref name=Godw2018>{{cite journal| last=Godwin| first=R.
