Stixaceae is a family in the plant order Brassicales, which is no longer recognised by most taxonomists. The three genera formerly included in Stixaceae — "Forchhammeria", "Stixis" and "Tirania" — have sometimes been placed instead in the Capparaceae, but it is now clear that they do not belong there. It is unknown where they do belong though, so currently they are unplaced at family rank.
