Polyceridae is a taxonomic family of sea slugs, specifically of dorid nudibranchs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks.

This used to be the only family in the superfamily Polyceroidea. More recently however, this has been placed in the superfamily Anadoridoidea.

(Note: Gastropod taxonomy has been in flux for more than half a century, and this is especially true currently, because of new research in molecular phylogeny. Because of all the on-going changes, different reliable sources can yield very different classifications.)
