The Saxifragales are an order of dicotyledon flowering plants. In the APG II classification system, it includes the following families:
- Family Altingiaceae (sweet gum family)
- Family Aphanopetalaceae
- Family Cercidiphyllaceae (katsuratree family)
- Family Crassulaceae (orpine family)
- Family Daphniphyllaceae
- Family Grossulariaceae (gooseberry and blackcurrant family)
- Family Haloragidaceae
- Family Hamamelidaceae (witch-hazel family)
- Family Iteaceae (itea or sweetspire family)
- Family Paeoniaceae (peony)
- Family Penthoraceae
- Family Pterostemonaceae
- Family Saxifragaceae (saxifrage family)
Under the Cronquist system, these families were divided among the orders Rosales, Hamamelidales, and Haloragales. However they appear to form a monophyletic group, related to the rosids and asterids.ca:Saxifragal da:Stenbræk-ordenen de:Steinbrechartige es:Saxifragales fr:Saxifragales hr:Saxifragales ja:ユキノシタ目 nl:Saxifragales no:Saxifragales pl:Skalnicowce pt:Saxifragales fi:Saxifragales sv:Saxifragales vi:Bộ Tai hùm zh:虎耳草目
