The Apiosporaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota.[1] It was placed in the order Amphisphaeriales in 2020.[2]

The family was circumscribed in 1998.[3] Species in the family are saprobic, and derive nutrients by decomposing and digesting plant matter, especially palms and grasses. Anamorph genera include Arthrinium and Cordella.[4]
