Hydatellaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. Such a family has rarely been recognized by taxonomists.
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998), does recognize such a family, and assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots. The family consists of probably less than a dozen species.
The Cronquist system, of 1981, also recognised such a family and placed it in its own order Hydatellales, in the subclass Commelinidae in class Liliopsida [=monocotyledons].
