Primulales is a botanical name of an order of flowering plants. This name was used in several systems with little variation in circumscription (see Bentham & Hooker, Engler and Wettstein system). In the 1981 version of the Cronquist system it was an order placed in subclass Dilleniidae with the following circumscription:
- order Primulales
- family Myrsinaceae
- family Primulaceae
- family Theophrastaceae
The APG II system, used here, includes all the plants involved in the (expanded) order Ericales.
