The Lycoperdales are an order of fungi. The order includes some well-known types such as the giant puffball, the earthstars, and other tuberous fungi. They are defined as having epgeous basidiomes, a hymenium present, one to three layers in the peridium, powdery gleba, and brown spores.

Some more modern classifications absorb this order into the Agaricales, except for the earthstars, which are placed in Phallales.
