The Hamamelidaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Saxifragales, including 27 genera and about 80-90 species, all shrubs and small trees. In older classifications such as the Cronquist system, the family was treated in a separate order Hamamelidales.

Some authors treat Rhodoleia in a family of its own, the Rhodoleiaceae, though genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group shows it is best included in the Hamamelidaceae.
