Micronectidae is a family of water boatmen often referred to as pygmy water boatmen. They were originally classified as a subfamily under Corixidae but were raised to family level by Nieser (2002). ^[1]

There are two subfamilies, Micronectinae with six genera and Synaptogobiinae with one genus. ^{[2] [3]}
