'''''Cytinaceae''''' is a family of [[parasite|parasitic]] [[flowering plant]]s. It comprised two genera, ''[[Cytinus]]'' and ''[[Bdallophytum]]'', totalling ten species.

These two genera were formerly placed in the family [[Rafflesiaceae]], order [[Malpighiales]]. When they were separated into a new family, it was initially placed in [[Malpighiales]], but it has since been recognised as belonging to order [[Malvales]].
