Sphyriidae is a family of marine copepods in the order Siphonostomatoida.
==Taxonomy and history== The family Sphyriidae was established by Charles Branch Wilson in 1919 with Sphyrion as the type genus. Wilson erected the family to include the existing genera of Opimia, Rebelula (now recognised as Lophoura), Sphyrion, and Trypaphylum (now recognised as Tripaphylus) and the newly described genera of Paeon (now recognised as Tripaphylus) and Periplexus. Eight genera are currently recognised.
