Doryanthaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. It is usually placed in the order of Asparagales.

For example the APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), places it in the order Asparagales, in the clade monocots. The family then includes only a single genus (Doryanthes) of few species of large plants in Eastern Australia.
