Stegnospermataceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by very few taxonomists: these plants commonly have been assigned to the family Phytolaccaceae.

The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does recognize this family and assigns it to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots. The family comprises a single genus, Stegnosperma, totalling three species of woody plants, in the Caribbean and Central America.
