Web of Scarlet Spider is the name of a Comic Book series starring the Scarlet Spider published by Marvel Comics for 4 issues between November, 1995 and February, 1996.

The book was a direct continuation, in terms of creative teams and storylines, of the previous Web of Spider-Man series.

Creators who contributed to the title include writers Tom DeFalco, Todd DeZago and Evan Skolnik and pencillers Paris Karounos and Tom Morgan.

The first two issues starred the Ben Reilly incarnation of the character, while the second 2 issues featured a different, malevolent version: Metal Scarlet Spider. This Scarlet Spider was actually an unwitting FBI agent Joe Wade, who was possessed by nanotechs from Doctor Octopus' lab explosion. The New Warriors helped Spider-Man in bringing Metal Scarlet Spider down. This storyline was called Nightmare In Scarlet, and crossed over with New Warriors #67.

The series was cancelled when Ben Reilly took on the Spider-Man name. It was replaced by the new The Sensational Spider-Man title.
