Liolaemidae are a family of iguanian lizards. They are traditionally included in the Iguanidae as subfamily Liolaeminae, which some more recent authors prefer to delimit in a more restricted way. A common name for this group is liolaemids.
The genera placed here are:
- Ctenoblepharys (monotypic[verification needed])
- Liolaemus – tree iguanas, snow swifts (over 190 species)
- Phymaturus (some 20 species)
