Real-life spiders, while able to do some remarkable things with silk, are generally somewhat limited in their ability to use it as a ranged weapon. This is not so for their fictional counterparts, who are often shown as able to shoot and launch their silk, both as individual strands and as fully formed webs, to entangle and ensnare their targets. This can be done for a number of reasons, such as dynamism — a spider patiently sitting in its web waiting for prey to pass by doesn't really make for exciting action scenes — or simple lack of research.
It's worth noting that some spiders do possess the ability to cast their webs to ensnare prey. They cannot squirt webbing directly at targets, however (they spin a kind of "net", and then pick it up and throw it with their forelegs), and the range and dexterity of their throws isn't generally on the level sometimes seen in fiction.
While this is most often applied to spiders, as they're generally the animals most tied to silk and webbing in popular culture, other silk-producing arthropods (like caterpillars and other insect larvae) can easily be granted the ability to launch their webbing in a similar fashion.
See also All Webbed Up. Sub-Trope of Artistic License – Arachnids and Sister Trope to Net Gun. This trope can help characterize a Sneaky Spider.

The Kraken Wakes: The aliens who have colonized Earth's oceans send bio-tanks up onto shore, where they produce jellyfish-like wads which bloop out into a mass of streamers that latch on to any humans they touch, and reel the victims in, dead or alive, to be taken down below. It's noted in-universe these streamers are somehow able to distinguish between their target and any inorganic material they encounter.

Digimon:
Digimon Adventure: A spider Digimon called Dokugumon has an attack that consists of shooting web from its abdomen. One does so in Episode 28, spraying strands of webbing from her mouth at the start of the battle and entangling most of the heroic Digimon before they can do anything.
Digimon Adventure 02: The larval Wormmon relies on silk web techniques that have a myriad of uses, like trapping foes, shooting needle-like web projectiles, swinging or grabbing objects. Arukenimon, who is the Ultimate form of the aforementioned Dokugumon, also has web attacks.

So I'm a Spider, So What?: The main character uses this trope often over the course of the story due to being a Giant Spider in an RPG world. By the time she leaves the labyrinth, her ability to produce webs becomes a Swiss-Army Superpower capable of things like cleaving, piercing, and bludgeoning targets, binding enemies to deal a Coup de Grâce in the form of a venomous bite, setting traps, and weaving entire houses.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Blackspawn stalkers, chimeras of spiders and black dragons, can throw webs like nets to entangle creatures.
The obsidian dragons described in Dragon Magazine #146 (distinct from the eponymous gem dragons from later editions) can breathe out a membranous, ten-foot web three times per day, which they can launch up to sixty feet away and which on contact hardens into a shell of black ice.
Spiders and spider-like creatures, such as araneas, choldriths, ettercaps and giant spiders, can shoot webs at enemies, binding them.

Even as a larva, Mothra in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) can spit wads of stick silk large enough to tie a grown human to a wall — as an adult, her silk becomes copious and strong enough to be able to glue two of King Ghidorah's three heads to a building with one shot.
The graphic novel Skull Island: The Birth of Kong depicts two Mother Longlegs utilizing this when fighting against Kong, not that it does them much good.

Pokémon: Several Bug-type moves are themed around a Pokémon shooting or spitting strands of silk at its opponent.
The old staple String Shot is typically themed as a Pokémon shooting strands of silk from its mouth to bind its opponent. It's most often learned by Pokémon resembling caterpillars, other insect larvae or spiders.
This tends to be particularly evident in the anime, where moves such as Electroweb, Spider Web and Sticky Web are often depicted as the user (typically a spider-like 'mon such as Ariados, Galvantula or Dewpider) tossing fully-formed orb webs at its opponent, or alternatively as sticky globs that turn into webs on contact with a target. Notably, the moves' descriptions in the games just reference their users spinning or weaving nets around their targets — no active launching is implied.

Spider-Man: Spider-Man, while not an actual spider himself, relies heavily on his famous web-shooters, which he holds in the palms of his hands and uses to shoot large quantities of webbing to produce both thick ropes with which to swing from buildings and nets with which to trap villains. This trope is also employed by most other spider-themed superheroes, such as Scarlet Spider and Spider-Gwen. Others, like Silk, do have organic webbing. Venom has learned the trick as well, organically producing a stronger version of Spider-Man's silk to use as a weapon and a mobility tool, but creating too much too quickly taxes its resources and weakens it.

Warhammer 40,000:
Stranglewebs are a type of Tyranid bio-weapon in the form of a spider-like creature that fires nets of sticky mucous that adhere to targets and rapidly constrict around them, usually crushing them to death. Some are coated with poison to make them more lethal. They're typically used to capture organisms to be carried back to the Hive Ships for analysis and incorporation.
The arachnid-themed Eldar Warp Spiders use guns called death spinners to evoke this trope, but instead of sticky webbing, it's a cloud of mono-molecular filament that shreds anything it touches.
Dark Heresy: Envelopers, also known as stickyflies, are flying insects native to the Death World Yanth that can spray streams of sticky webbing from holes behind their mandibles. Once set, these webs can only be broken down with powerful solvents or acids.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
"Scare Master": When Fluttershy asks him to close the windows during her initial Nightmare Night barricade, Fuzzy Legs the spider does this by shooting two thick strings of webbing at them and using them to slam the windows shut.
"Campfire Tales": Flyders — spiders with insect wings — can squirt strands of webbing from their spinnerets with a fair degree of accuracy. One is able to shoot out enough webbing to cover half of Sweetie Belle's face with a single shot, while another shoots out a strand accurately enough to tangle Applejack's legs bolas-style in mid-gallop.

Digimon Adventure 02: The larval Wormmon relies on silk web techniques that have a myriad of uses, like trapping foes, shooting needle-like web projectiles, swinging or grabbing objects. Arukenimon, who is the Ultimate form of the aforementioned Dokugumon, also has web attacks.

This tends to be particularly evident in the anime, where moves such as Electroweb, Spider Web and Sticky Web are often depicted as the user (typically a spider-like 'mon such as Ariados, Galvantula or Dewpider) tossing fully-formed orb webs at its opponent, or alternatively as sticky globs that turn into webs on contact with a target. Notably, the moves' descriptions in the games just reference their users spinning or weaving nets around their targets — no active launching is implied.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: The Tachikomas, while not capable of producing actual silk, have an ability reminiscent of this in the form of web-like guidewires that they can shoot from their pods to swing around as a form of mobility. As shown in episode 2 "TESTATION", they can attach the wires to other moving objects such as the HAW-201 tank in an effort to slow it down with their own body weight.

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West: Chula the spider functions as errand boy to the villain, Cat R. Waul. While Waul is welcoming some mice to the town of Green River, Chula is told to issue water. Being a recalcitrant fellow, Chula hocks a loogie at a newlywed couple, which forms an instant web, trapping them inside an old boot. Waul flicks away the webbing and continues his Affably Evil schmooze.

Blade & Soul: Grave spiders can shoot a whole sticky web at the player character, which can envelop the warrior like netting, pinning her to the spot until she can slash herself free. The spider can attack the PC through the webbing, inflicting damage, while the trapped PC must first cut through the webbing before getting any swipes at the grave spider.

Eight Legged Freaks: Played with by the Giant Spiders . Some of them can squirt thick streams of liquid silk from their abdomen to immobilize prey at melee distance, but since they're so friggin' huge it still translates into a meter or two from which they can glue you to the wall behind you. The character played by Scarlett Johansson finds this out the hard way.

Into the Breach: Several breeds of the Kaiju-sized Vek spray their target with immobilizing webs at close range, including creatures whose normal-sized counterparts do not produce silk at all, like Vek scorpions and the mantis-like leapers. Vek spiders, meanwhile, launch blobs of webbing across the map, which not only hatch into spiderlings after one round, but also web up all adjacent enemies until they do.
