The Simaroubaceae is a small, mostly tropical, family in the order Sapindales. In recent decades it has been subject to much taxonomic debate, with several small families being split off.

The best-known species is the temperate Chinese Tree-of-heaven "Ailanthus altissima", which has become a cosmopolitan urban weed tree.

Well-known genera in the family include the tropical "Quassia" and "Simarouba".
