Pseudaspididae is a small family of elapoid snakes, containing only two species (each in their own monotypic genus) from sub-Saharan Africa. They were formerly placed as a subfamily of the Lamprophiidae, but have been more recently identified as a distinct family. However, some authors continue to place them as a subfamily of the Lamprophiidae.

The Asian mock vipers in the genus Psammodynastes were previously placed as disjunct members of this family, but more recent studies support them being a significantly older lineage belonging to their own family, Psammodynastidae.

The family contains two species in two genera.
