The Vitaceae (or Vitidaceae) are a family of dicots including the grape and Virginia creeper.

Leea may be included here, or treated as a separate family. These together make up the order Vitales in newer classification systems. Under the older Cronquist system, they were placed in the order Rhamnales.
