Hydnoraceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. This family has been recognised by most taxonomists.

The APG II system, of 2003, also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Piperales in the clade magnoliids. This represents a change from the APG system, of 1998, which left the family unplaced as to order, and merely assigned the family to the basic lineages of the angiosperms.

The family consists of a few species, in two genera.
