Acoraniidae is a family of bryozoans belonging to the order Cheilostomatida.

[1] It was introduced in order to accommodate the new genus Acorania which did not fit, at the time, in any of the described cheilostomes.

It was discovered during a deep-water expedition in September 1998 at the Enmedio volcano off the coast of the Canary Islands.

Both the family Acoraniidae and the genus Acorania are derived from the name Acoran, a name of Achamán, the supreme god of the Guanches, the native inhabitants of the Canary Islands.
