The Order Lamiales is a taxon in the asterid group of dicotyledonous flowering plants. The name Scrophulariales is often used instead of Lamiales. Since both the Family Lamiaceae and Family Scrophulariaceae are placed within the same order by cladistically-oriented taxonomists, either name may be used. However, in cladistic nomenclature, the Lamioid clade is a more basal clade than the Scrophularioid clade, and for this reason many taxonomists prefer Lamiales as the proper name for this order.

Under the older Cronquist system of classification, the Lamiales included the families Lamiaceae, Verbenaceae, Boraginaceae, and Lennoaceae. Many of the other families listed below were placed in the Order Scrophulariales. Inclusion of all the following families is typical of newer classifications:
