Pleurotheciaceae is a family of ascomycetous fungi within the monotypic order of Pleurotheciales in the subclass Savoryellomycetidae and within the class Sordariomycetes.
Pleurotheciales, with the single-family Pleurotheciaceae, is the largest order in the subclass of Savoryellomycetidae. Pleurotheciaceae species have mostly been isolated from decaying wood or plant debris as saprobes (processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter), while few species were also identified as opportunistic human pathogens (such as Phaeoisaria clematidis).
