Cancridae is a family of crabs. It comprises six extant genera,[1] and eleven exclusively fossil genera,[2] in two subfamilies:

Cancrinae Latreille, 1802
- Anatolikos Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2000
- †Anisospinos Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2000
- Cancer Linnaeus, 1758
- †Ceronnectes De Angeli & Beschin, 1998
- †Cyclocancer Beurlen, 1958
- Glebocarcinus Nations, 1975
- Metacarcinus A. Milne-Edwards, 1862
- †Microdium Reuss, 1867
- †Notocarcinus Schweitzer & Feldmann, 2000
- Platepistoma Rathbun, 1906
- Romaleon Gistel, 1848
- †Santeecarcinus Blow & Manning, 1996
- †Sarahcarcinus Blow & Manning, 1996
†Lobocarcininae Beurlen, 1930
- †Lobocarcinus Reuss, 1857
- †Miocyclus Müller, 1978
- †Tasadia Müller in Janssen & Müller, 1984
Until 2000, the extant species were all classified in genus Cancer. After an analysis of new fossil material, the subgenera were elevated to the rank of genus, and three new genera were erected.[3] Most of the family's current diversity is found in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
