Pavlovaceae is a family of haptophytes. It is the only family in the order Pavlovales, which is the only order in the class Pavlovophyceae. ^[1] It contains four genera, Diacronema , Exanthemachrysis , Pavlova and Rebecca . ^[2]

Pavlovophyceae haptophytes also reportedly store photosynthetic carbon in paramylon polysaccharide granules (with a crystalline microfibrillar structure), ^[3] unlike the chrysolaminarin used as the polysaccharide storage form by most haptophytes. ^{[4] [5]}
