The Pucciniosiraceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales.[1] The family contains 10 genera and 57 species.[2]

In 2018, they were placed within the Uredinales order (which was a previous name for the Pucciniales).[3][4] They are 'endocyclic rusts', species with endocyclic life cycles and having reduced autoecious life cycles (they complete their life cycle on a single host species), in which the aeciospores function as teliospores.[5]
