Pteridaceae is a large family of ferns in the order Pteridales.
Members of the family have creeping or erect rhizomes and are mostly terrestrial or epipetric (growing on rock).
The family includes four groups of genera that are sometimes recognized as separate families: the adiantoid, cheilanthoid, pteroid, and hemionitidoid ferns.
