Cancridae is a family of crabs. It comprises six extant genera,[1] and eleven exclusively fossil genera,[2] in two subfamilies:

Cancrinae Latreille, 1802

†Lobocarcininae Beurlen, 1930

Until 2000, the extant species were all classified in genus Cancer. After an analysis of new fossil material, the subgenera were elevated to the rank of genus, and three new genera were erected.[3]

The family is most diverse in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
