'''Metteniusaceae''' are a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s, the only family in the order '''Metteniusales'''.<ref name=APG4/> It consists of about 10 genera and 50 species{{r|Christenhusz-Byng2016}} of [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s, and [[liana]]s, primarily of the [[tropics]]. The family was formerly restricted to just ''[[Metteniusa]]'', but it is now expanded with a number of genera that were formerly placed in the widely [[polyphyletic]] [[Icacinaceae]].
