In short:

Australia's brown huntsman spiders are the fastest, according to a study, yet to be peer-reviewed, of 258 species.

According to the study, huntsman spiders can move at 3.59 metres per second.

More research is needed to confirm if there are other, faster species out there that have not been investigated.
