Samydaceae is a family of tropical and subtropical woody plants, its best known genus being Casearia. It has alway been of uncertain placement, in the past usually being submerged in the family Flacourtiaceae.

Recently, members of the APG have included a large part of the Flacourtiaceae in the family Salicaceae including what were Samydaceae, without any real evidence as regards the latter. Further research suggests that reinstating Samydaceae may well be a viable option.

It has alway been of uncertain placement, in the past usually being submerged in the family [[Flacourtiaceae]]. As the Flacourtiaceae is not monophyletic and is being subdivided, the Samydaceae may be reinstated, though the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] includes it in the family [[Salicaceae]].
