The Myricaceae is a small family of dicotyledonous shrubs and small trees in the order Fagales. There are three genera in the family, though some botanists separate many species from Myrica into a fourth genus Morella. About 35 species are usually accepted in Myrica, one in Canacomyrica and one in Comptonia.

Well-known members of this family include bayberry and sweetfern.nds-nl:Gagelfemilie
