Sugar Gliders are Marsupials and are a member of the Petauridae family; there are 11 species that belong to this family. The members of this family consist of possums which are the closest relatives of the sugar gliders except for perhaps other types of gliders.

The most immediate relatives are the five other gliders, also native to Australia. These include the Lesser glider, Greater glider, Squirrel glider, Mahogany glider (endangered) and Feathertail glider.
