Pleurodontidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.

This family is classified within the "Limacoid clade", itself belonging to the clade Stylommatophora within the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

The family Pleurodontidae includes the American taxa that used to be included within the Australasian family Camaenidae, whose monophyly had been in doubt. They are defined by a missing diverticulum. However the diverticulum is partially present in the genus Solaropsis. The stimulatory organ is equally missing. However, Solaropsis has in part a penial stimulator and a divided penis retractor miscle.
