Ormyridae is a small family of parasitic wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea. They are either parasitoids or hyperparasitoids on gall-forming insects, primarily cynipid wasps and tephritid flies. There are only some 120 species in 3 genera (mostly in the genus Ormyrus), and they are almost entirely absent from South America.

They are best recognized by distinctive scalloped sculpturing of the metasomal tergites.
