Yponomeutinae is a subfamily of "micromoths" in the lepidopteran in the family Yponomeutidae (ermine moths). As their scientific name implies, this is the subfamily containing the type genus of the ermine moths, Yponomeuta.
A few species usually separated as subfamily Scythropiinae are sometimes placed here too.
