Baenidae is an extinct family of Paracryptodiran turtles Known from the Aptian to Eocene of North America. While during the Early Cretaceous they are found across North America, during the Late Cretaceous they are only found in Laramidia, having disappeared from Appalachia.

They are primarily found in freshwater deposits, and are considered to be aquatic, with a largely generalist habit.
