Scythrididae (flower moths) is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea.

The family is sometimes included in the Xyloryctidae as a subfamily Scythridinae, but the Xyloryctidae themselves have sometimes been included in the Oecophoridae as subfamily.

Scythrididae adults are smallish to mid-sized moths, which when at rest appear teardrop-shaped.
