The Pertusariaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales.
==Taxonomy== The family was formally circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1846. It contained the genera Pertusaria and Ochrolechia until Pertusaria was shown to be polyphyletic in a 2006 publication. The family Ochrolechiaceae was created to contain Ochrolechia.
