Cannabaceae is a family of flowering plants consisting of seven genera, including three well-known genera Cannabis (hemp), Celtis (hackberries) and Humulus (hops). Now placed in the order Rosales, in older literature they were included in the Urticales. The family is closely allied with the other families of the old Urticales (Urticaceae, Moraceae, Ulmaceae).

Many plants in this family have coarse, hairy leaves.
