The Achariaceae is a family of flowering plants, formerly consisting of 6 species in 3 genera of herb and shrubs endemic to southern Africa. More recently, the APG II system has greatly expanded the scope of the family by including many genera previously classified in the Flacourtiaceae.

Even if the family is generally classified in the order Malpighiales, embryological data show similarities with the Cucurbitales and the Brassicales.
