The Polygalaceae or Milkwort family is a family of flowering plants in the order Fabales. They have a near-cosmopolitan range, with about 17 genera and 900-1000 species of herbs, shrubs and trees. Over half of the species are in one genus, Polygala , the milkworts .

Under the older Cronquist classification system, the Polygalaceae was treated in a separate order of its own, the Polygalales.
