'''Gunneraceae''' is a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], closely related to [[Myrothamnaceae]], together forming the order [[Gunnerales]]. Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists. Gunneraceae consists of the single genus ''[[Gunnera]]'' with 63 known species<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M. J. M. |author2=Byng, J.

The [[APG II system]], of 2003, also recognizes this family and assigns it to the order Gunnerales in the clade [[core eudicots]]. The family then consisted of one or two genera, ''[[Gunnera]]'' and, optionally, ''[[Myrothamnus]]'', the latter optionally segregated as a separate family, [[Myrothamnaceae]]. This represents a change from the [[APG system]], of 1998, which firmly recognized two separate families, unplaced as to order. The [[APG III system]] and [[APG IV system]] recognizes the family Gunneraceae and places ''Myrothamnus'' in Myrothamnaceae; both families are placed in the order Gunnerales in the core eudicots.<ref name=APGIII2009/><ref name=APGIV2016>{{Cite journal|authors=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|authorlink=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|year=2016|title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG IV|journal=[[Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society]]|volume=181|issue=1|pages=1–20|url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/boj.12385/epdf|format=PDF|issn=00244074|doi=10.1111/boj.12385}}</ref>
 
 
 
Gunneraceae are known for its species with mammoth-sized leaves, but many species are much smaller and less impressive than the commonly cultivated 'giant rhubarb' ''[[Gunnera manicata]]'', which is not related to the edible [[rhubarb]].
