Lythraceae is a family of flowering plants. It includes 500-600 species of mostly herbs, with some shrubs and trees, in 32 genera. Lythraceae have a worldwide distribution, with most species in the tropics but ranging into temperate climate regions as well.

The family is named after the type genus, "Lythrum", the loosestrifes (e.g. "Lythrum salicaria" Purple loosestrife). It now also includes the pomegranate, formerly classed in a separate family Punicaceae. The family also includes the widely cultivated crepe myrtle trees.
