Cancridae is a family of crabs. It comprises six extant genera,[1] and ten exclusively fossil genera,[2] in two subfamilies:

- Platepistoma Rathbun, 1906
- Romaleon Gistel, 1848
Fossils

Until 2000, the extant species were all classified in genus Cancer. After an analysis of new fossil material, the subgenera were elevated to the rank of genus, and three new genera were erected.[3] Most of the family's current diversity is found in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
