Cyclocoridae is a family of elapoid snakes endemic to the Philippines.

== Taxonomy == It was initially erected as a subfamily (Cyclocorinae) in 2017 to house four enigmatic, endemic genera containing seven species and one then-undescribed lineage that are more closely related to one another than to members of the families Atractaspididae or to other former subfamilies of the Lamprophiidae. The undescribed lineage was described in 2020 as the new genus Levitonius.
