Euglenaceae (also known as Euglenidae) is a family of flagellates in the phylum Euglenozoa. The family includes the most well-known euglenoid genus, Euglena.
== Nomenclature == The family Euglenaceae is also known by the name Euglenidae. The origin of this dual naming system is because of the history of protists. Euglenids have been treated as both algae and protozoans, which are governed by separate nomenclature codes. If treated as an alga, it would fall under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) and its correct name would be Euglenaceae; if treated under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) it is called Euglenidae. Euglenids such as these are considered to be ambiregnal protists due to their parallel naming systems.
