Centrolepidaceae are a family of flowering plants now included in Restionaceae following APG IV (2016).[2] The botanical name has been recognized by most taxonomists.

The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998), also recognises such a family, and assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids in the monocots.

The family was regarded as containing three genera, Aphelia, Centrolepis, and Gaimardia,[3] with about 35 species total, found in Australia, New Zealand, southern South America and Southeast Asia.[4]
