Pseudocyclopidae () is a family of copepods belonging to the order Calanoida. They include genera such as Badijella, Boholina, and Brattstromia. Additionally, they are found in marine environments, particularly in waters immediately over the seabed from coastal zones to the edge of the continental shelf.
Giesbrecht identified the Pseudocyclopidae family in 1893, which includes copepods with distinct morphological characteristics such as the absence of an aesthetasc on the fourth antennular segment and a well-developed, elongated two-segmented mandibular endopod with ten terminal setae.
