The Lestoideidae are a family of damselflies occurring in South-east Asia, New Guinea and Australia. The family comprises two genera and nine species.
== Genera == Lestoideidae is an accepted family name and until recently it was considered to be monotypic with only one genus, Lestoidea. However, research over the last twenty years or so has suggested that the genus Diphlebia is also part of Lestoideidae.
