The Melongenidae, the crown conchs and their relatives, are a taxonomic family of large to very large marine gastropods in the superfamily Buccinoidea.
== Taxonomy == For a while prior to 2004, the genera Busycon and Busycotypus were placed in the Melongenidae. Then, in 2004, based on their digestive systems and on cladistic analysis by Kosyan & Kantor (2004), these two genera were moved to the family Busyconidae within the superfamily Buccinoidea.
