Lego Spider-Man (stylized as LEGO Spider-Man) is a product range of the Lego construction toy, based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. When the theme first launched in 2002, it was inspired by the Spider-Man film released the same year and was part of the Lego Studios line. Additional sets were released two years later, based on the film's sequel, Spider-Man 2.[2][3] The theme was discontinued before the release of Spider-Man 3, and the rights were sold to rival Mega Brands, who entered a multi-year licensing deal with Marvel Enterprises, giving them the rights to produce playsets, vehicles, and other building-themed products based upon various Marvel characters for their Mega Bloks toys.[4]

In 2012, Lego revived the theme, starting with several waves of sets based on the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series in their Marvel Super Heroes line. Starting with 2016, the theme was renamed simply Spider-Man. In 2017, 2019 and 2021, sets based on the films Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, respectively, were released. A LEGO Spider-Man, voiced by Nic Novicki, was featured as a minor character in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
