Wunderlichioideae is a subfamily of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.

The subfamily includes 8 genera and about 24 species that are concentrated in Venezuela and Guyana. Some species are naturalised in eastern South America and southwest China. Distinguishing features of the members of this subfamily are presence of styles with glabrous style branches and a deletion in the "rpoB" gene. Two subtribes, Wunderlicheae and Hyalideae, are recognised.
