**Xyloryctidae** sunt familia lepidopterorum superfamiliae Gelechioideorum, ab Eduardo Meyrick anno 1890 descripta. Plurima genera in regione Indo-Australianam inveniuntur. Multa ex his lepidopteris sunt exigua, sed nonnulla latitudinem alarum usque ad 66 mm habent, ut quasi gigantes inter microlepidoptera videantur.

Xyloryctidae olim inter Oecophoridas subfamilia nomine Xyloryctinae ponebantur. Recentiores autem investigationes monstrant eas familiam separatam constituere, maiores cum Oecophoridis communiter habentís, sed non ex eis orientís.
