Turneraceae is a family of flowering plants consisting of 120 species in 10 genera. The Cronquist system placed the Turneracids in the order Violales, but under the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification, it belongs to the order Malpighiales.

Most species in Turneraceae are tropical or sub-tropical shrubs, with a few trees. Half of the family's species belong to the genus "Turnera", including the herb damiana ("T. diffusa, T. aphrodisiaca"), the yellow alder ("T. pumilea"), which is not really an alder, and the "ramgoat dashalong" ("T. ulmifolia"). Another type of plant in Turneraceae with a vernacular name is stripeseed, which is actually three different species of the genus "Piriqueta" - the pitted stripeseed ("P. cistoides"), the rigid stripeseed ("P. racemosa"), and the purple stripeseed ("P. viscosa").

Family Turneraceae is sometimes absorbed into the related family Passifloraceae.
