Leuconidae is a family of marine hooded shrimp (order Cumacea). The family was established by Georg Ossian Sars in his 1878 study of Mediterranean cumaceans.
== Description == Leuconidae retain the original number of free thoracic somites, but do not possess a free telson. Their mandibles are truncated dorsally to the molar. In males, the flagellum of the second antenna reaches beyond the hindmost edge of the carapace. Their gills do not have gill plates or other supports.
