Agnaridae is a family of woodlice. They were formerly considered part of the Trachelipodidae, but were moved from that family to Porcellionidae in 1989, and then placed as a separate family in 2003.[2] There are c. 80 species, distributed from the Mediterranean basin to East Asia.

The family contains the following genera:[3]

In addition, Phalaba and Tadzhikoniscus may belong in the Agnaridae.[3]
