Juncales is a botanical name for an order of flowering plants. In the Engler system (update, of 1964) and in the Cronquist system (of 1981, which placed this order in subclass Commelinidae) it is circumscribed as:
- order Juncales
- family Juncaceae
- family Thurniaceae
However, the Thorne system (1992) accepts it as consisting of :
- order Juncales
- family Prioniaceae
- family Thurniaceae
- family Juncaceae
- family Cyperaceae
The APG II system, used here, assigns the plants involved to the order Poales.
