Scheuchzeriaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has not been recognized by many taxonomists. It is named after Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672–1733).
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does recognize such a family and places it in the order Alismatales, in the clade monocots. The family then includes only a single species, Scheuchzeria palustris.
