The Lomariopsidaceae is a family of ferns with a largely tropical distribution. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the family is placed in the suborder Polypodiineae (eupolypods I) of the order Polypodiales.[1] Alternatively, it may be treated as the subfamily Lomariopsidoideae of a very broadly defined family Polypodiaceae sensu lato.[2][3]

The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) included four genera.[1] Dryopolystichum was added in 2017,[4] and Thysanosoria is now included in Lomariopsis, so that four genera are recognized as of February 2020[update]:[5]
The genus Nephrolepis has also been placed in this family,[6] but it is now placed in its own family, Nephrolepidaceae.[1][7]
Some members of the Lomariopsidaceae are cultivated as ornamental plants.
