The '''Portulacaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], comprising 115 species in a single genus ''[[Portulaca]]''.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.

The family has been recognised by most taxonomists, and is also known as the '''purslane family'''; it has a [[cosmopolitan distribution]], with the highest diversity in semiarid regions of the [[Southern Hemisphere]] in [[Africa]], [[Australia]], and [[South America]], but with a few species also extending north into [[Arctic]] regions. The family is very similar to the [[Caryophyllaceae]], differing in the [[Calyx (botany)|calyx]], which has only two sepals.
 
 
 
The [[APG II system]] (2003; unchanged from the [[APG system]] of 1998) assigns it to the order [[Caryophyllales]] in the clade [[core eudicots]]. In the [[APG III system]], several genera were moved to the [[Montiaceae]], [[Didiereaceae]], [[Anacampserotaceae]] and [[Talinaceae]], thus making the family monotypic and only containing the genus ''[[Portulaca]]''.<ref name=APGIII2009/>
