Haloferacales is an order of halophilic, chemoorganotrophic or heterotrophic archaea within the class Haloarchaea.[3] The type genus of this order is Haloferax.[4]

The name Haloferacales is derived from the Latin term Haloferax, referring to the type genus of the order and the suffix "-ales," an ending used to denote an order. Together, Haloferacales refers to an order whose nomenclatural type is the genus Haloferax.
