Mycoplasmataceae is a family of bacteria^[1] in the order Mycoplasmatales. This family consists of Mycoplasma and four more genera.^[2]

In 1967, the order Mycoplasmatales was incorporated into the class Mollicutes.^[3] Sexually-transmitted species and Ureaplasma are classified in Mycoplasmoidaceae since 2018.^[4]
