Dasypogonaceae is a family of flowering plants based on the type genus Dasypogon, one that has traditionally not been commonly recognized by taxonomists; the plants it contains were usually included in the family Xanthorrhoeaceae.

If valid, Dasypogonaceae includes four genera with 16 species.

[2] Other authors find that the placement of Dasypogonaceae remains undetermined, due to conflicting models, and leave it in an order of its own, the Dasypogonales.

[5] The commelinids are monocots, the broad group to which, in any event, these plants clearly belong.

Studies have confirmed the monophyletic character of the grouping.
