Ogoveidae is a family of harvestmen with three described species in one genus, Ogovea, which is found in equatorial West Africa.
==Name== The name of the genus giving the family its name refers to the river Ogooué, where the type species was found. The genus was originally named Ogovia Hansen & Sørensen, 1904, but later renamed Ogovea Roewer, 1923, as the original name already belonged to a genus of Noctuid moths.
