The Sisters of the Holy Family (SSF; French: Soeurs de la Sainte Famille) are a Catholic religious order of African-American nuns based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They were founded in 1837 as the Congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Henriette DeLille. They adopted the current name in 1842.

They were the second Black religious order founded in the United States. The first was Mother Mary Lange's Oblate Sisters of Providence in Baltimore, Maryland.
