Winterschmidtiidae is a family of mites in the order Astigmata.
== Ecology == The four subfamilies of Winterschmidtiidae have different habits: Ensliniellinae are associated with Hymenoptera; Winterschmidtiinae with wood-boring insects; Saproglyphinae with decaying materials, plant leaves and fungi; and Oulenziinae with leaves, vertebrate nests and stored foods. They are mostly detritivorous, though most Winterschmidtiinae are instead fungivorous and a few species are herbivorous.
