Cactaceae (a vocabulo Graeco κάκτος) sunt familia plantarum florentium ordinis Caryophyllalium, cui familiae sunt circa 1750 species in circa 127 genera digestae. Cactaceae in America ab australi Patagoniae regione ad septentriones Canadae occidentalis regiones endemicae sunt, Rhipsali baccifera excepta, quae etiam in Africa et Taprobane habitat.
