Guloninae ^{[2] [3]} is a subfamily of the mammal family Mustelidae distributed across Eurasia and the Americas. It includes martens, fishers, tayras, and the wolverine. ^{[2] [3]} These genera were formerly included within a paraphyletic definition of the mustelid subfamily Mustelinae. ^[4]

Most gulonine species are arboreal to a degree. Some of the fashion furs come from this subfamily, e.g. sable, marten. ^[5]
