Metalacurbs foordi is a species of harvestman in the family Biantidae, known only from one male specimen collected from the Ankasa Conservation Area, Ghana in 2013. Its biology is unknown.
Etymology The specific epithet foordi honors the South African arachnologist Stefan Hendrik Foord (1971-2023) for his contributions to African arachnology.
Description Metalacurbs foordi is 2.78 mm long and 1.14 mm wide.
