Sandokanidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores, formerly referred to as Oncopodidae (the name was replaced because of the secondary homonymy of the type genus Oncopus, replaced by Sandokan; this made the change of family name mandatory) [1] The name of the type genus is based on the name of a fictional Bornean prince-pirate.

[1] Sandokanidae range in body size from about 2–11 mm.

Most species are amber colored with some dark brown patterns.

[2] This family is known from Southeast Asia from Indonesia, almost reaching New Guinea on Waigeo, up north into the Himalayan region.

[2] Sandokanidae are probably the sister group to all other Grassatores.
