Cyamodontidae is an extinct family of superficially turtle-like placodonts belonging to the superfamily Cyamodontoidea. Fossils have been found in Germany and Italy. It is named after Cyamodus , the namesake of the family.

Meyer (1863) originally created the family solely for Cyamodus. However, the naming of Protenodontosaurus in 1990 by Pinna regrouped the two genera under one family.^{[ citation needed ]}
