The '''Muntingiaceae''' are a family of [[Angiosperm|flowering plants]], belonging to the rosid order [[Malvales]]. The family consists of three genera: ''[[Dicraspidia]]'', ''[[Muntingia]]'' and ''[[Neotessmannia]]'', each with a single species.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.

The older [[Cronquist system|Cronquist System]] placed these genera in the family [[Tiliaceae]], with which they share morphological similarities but have no evolutionary affinity. ''[[Muntingia calabura]]'' is widely introduced in tropical regions, because of its edible fruit. ''Dicraspidia donnell-smithii'' and ''Neotessmannia uniflora'' are the other two species in the family, the latter only known from herbarium specimens.
