Diapheromeridae is a family of stick insects (order Phasmatodea).

They belong to the superfamily Anareolatae of suborder Verophasmatodea.

[1] The family contains some huge species, e.g. Paraphanocles keratosqueleton which can grow to over 30 cm long.

The re-established Lonchodidae, placed as a subfamily in the Diapheromeridae in older treatments, now contain the Lonchodinae and the Necrosciinae.

The other two subfamilies, with 3 tribes each, contain the highest diversity of Diapheromeridae.
