The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds.

[4][5] The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus[6] and Penicillium[7] amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.

[8] The family was circumscribed in 1824 by the German botanist Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link.
