'''Corsiaceae''' is a family of [[monocotyledon]]ous [[flowering plants]]. The [[APG II system]] (2003) treats the family in the order [[Liliales]], in the clade [[monocots]]. This is a slight change from the [[APG system]], of 1998, which left the family unplaced as to order, but did assign it also to the monocots.

==Taxonomy==
 
 
 
The family is usually taken to include three genera, ''[[Corsia]]'', ''[[Corsiopsis]]'', and ''[[Arachnitis]]'' with a total of 27 known species.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.

The [http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/APweb/welcome.html APG companion site] cites a reference which suggests the family should consist of ''Corsia'' only, with ''Arachnitis'' better placed nearer to family Burmanniaceae. ''Corsiopsis'', like ''Arachnitis'' a monotypic genus, has been described recently.
