Kingdoniaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by relatively few taxonomists.
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does not recognize such a family, not as such, but it allows the option of segregating this family, as an optional segregate. Placement of the family is in the order Ranunculales, in the clade eudicots.
The family then consists of a single species only: Kingdonia uniflora, a species of herbaceous plants found in West and North China.
