Davalliaceae is a family of polypod ferns, which includes seven genera, the species of which grow mostly in the old world tropics or subtropics. In some treatments the genera of the family Olandraceae are included in this family. They are small to moderate-sized epiphytes or are otherwise casually terrestrial and sometimes grow on rocks.

The genus Rumohra is treated in Dryopteridaceae by some botanists.
