缨子木目（Crossosomatales）又名燧体木目或流苏子目，是一类显花植物，由2003年的《APG II 分类法》新分出的一个目部，包括三个科。 在克朗奎斯特分类法中，这三个科分属于蔷薇目、堇菜目和无患子目。 缨子木目中还有不属于上述三个科的四个独立属：单果树属， 四棱果属，西兰木属和栓皮果属。 2009年的APG III 分类法中上述四个独立属皆升为科，于是本目下共有七个科。

The Crossosomatales are an order, first recognized as such by APG II. They are flowering plants included within the Rosid eudicots.
== Description == Species assigned to the Crossosomatales have in common flowers that are positioned solitarily, with the base of the calyx, corolla, and stamens fused into a tube-shaped floral cup, sepals overlapping, the outermost smaller than the inner. Insides of the casings of pollen grains have horizontally extended thin regions (or endo-apertures). The gynoecium is placed on a short stalk, papillae on the stigma consist of two or more cells, ovary locules taper upwards, and the protective cell layer (or integument) surrounding the ovule leaves a zigzag opening (or micropyle). Some cell clusters have bundles of long yellow crystals, mucilage cells are present, and seeds have a smooth, woody coating.
