Nemopteridae, the spoonwings, are a family of neuropteran insects.

They are found in the Ethiopian, Palearctic, Australasian and Neotropical realms but absent in North America (though a fossil has been found in Colorado).

The long streamer is conspicuous when the insects are flying and these are the elongated and spatulate hindwings.

The larvae are predators feeding on small insects including ants.
