Bodotriidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Cumacea.

Bodotriids have a worldwide distribution in shallow and deep waters.

Their external morphology differs from other cumaceans by a combination of traits that independently are not unique to the family: the telson is fused to the last abdominal segment (last pleonite), the dorsal part of the mandible has a boat shape (naviculoid), exopods exist on the third maxilliped and the first peraeopod, and there is a uropodal endopod with one or two articles.

In both sexes the telson is fused with the last segment of the pleon, forming a "pleotelson".

Males generally have five pairs of pleopods, although less often there may be three, two or they may be entirely absent.
