蝽科（學名：Pentatomidae），又名蝽象科、椿象科、椿科，是蝽總科下的一個科，其科名“Pentatomidae”來自希臘語，“pente”（五）和“tomos”（部分）。其背部有盾片覆蓋，其身體通常呈梯形。該科的大多數昆蟲一般都是農業害蟲，其以農作物為食的天性和對大多數殺蟲劑的抗性更使得其難以對付。但也有些種的成蟲會以其他農業害蟲為食。

Muchos integrantes de esta familia son considerados plagas de la agricultura, debido a que crean inmensas poblaciones; succionan savia vegetal y dañan la producción, y son resistentes a muchos pesticidas. Es de distribución cosmopolita con numerosas especies. En Norteamérica hay 221 especies. En las islas Británicas hay 33 especies de pentatómidos, de la superfamilia Pentatomoidea, 32 de los cuales son nativos y una considerada naturalizada muy recientemente. De esas 32 especies, 17 están en la familia Pentatomidae.
