Lernanthropidae is a family of copepods in the order Siphonostomatoida.

==Taxonomy and history== The family Lernanthropidae was established by Polish parasitologist Zbigniew Kabata in 1979 with Lernanthropus as the type genus. Kabata erected the family to accommodate the existing genera of Aethon, Lernanthropus, Lernanthropodes, Norion, and Sagum. Eight genera are currently recognised.
