Malmideaceae is a family of crustose and corticolous lichens in the order Lecanorales. It contains eight genera and about 70 species.

==Taxonomy== Malmideaceae was created in 2011 to accommodate a group of species, formerly placed in genus Malcolmiella (family Ectolechiaceae), that molecular phylogenetics showed to be a distinct lineage and worthy of recognition at the family level. The genus Savoronala, containing the single African species S. madagascariensis, was added to the family in 2013, while another monotypic genus Kalbionora was added in 2017.
