The Faboideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is Papilionoideae, or Papilionaceae when this group of plants is treated as a family.

Members include the pea, the sweet pea, the laburnum, and other legumes. The pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and root nodulation is very common. The papilionaceous species vary enormously in size from the tiny Lupinus uncialis only 2 cm in height to Pterocarpus mildbraedii subsp. usumbarensis at up to 75 m height.

Genera

The type genus, Faba, is a synonym of Vicia, and is listed here as Vicia.

Systematics

Modern molecular phylogenetics recommend a clade-based classification of Faboideae as a superior alternative to the traditional tribal classification of Polhill:

|label1=Faboideae |sublabel1=(Papilionoideae) |1={{clade |1={{clade |label1=ADA clade |1={{clade |1=Angylocalyceae |2={{clade |1=Dipterygeae |2=Amburaneae |2={{clade |1={{clade |label1=Swartzieae |1={{clade |1=Swartzioids |2=Atelioids |2={{clade |1=Cladrastis clade |label2=Meso-Papilionoideae |2={{clade |1=Exostyleae |label2=Genistoids |2={{clade |1=Ormosieae |2={{clade |1=Brongniartieae |2=Leptolobieae |label3=Core genistoids |3={{clade |1=Camoensieae |2={{clade |1=Sophoreae |2={{clade |1=Podalyrieae |2={{clade |1=Crotalarieae |2=Genisteae |3=Vataireoids |4=Andira clade |label5=Dalbergioids |5={{clade |label1=Amorpheae |1={{clade |1=Amorphoids |2=Daleoids |label2=Dalbergieae |2={{clade |1=Adesmia clade |2={{clade |1=Dalbergia clade |2=Pterocarpus clade |label6=Old World clade |6={{clade |1=Baphieae |label2=NPAAA clade |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=Hypocalypteae |2=Mirbelioids |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=Indigofereae |label2=Millettioids |2={{clade |1=Barbierieae (Clitoriinae clade) |2={{clade |label1=Core millettioids |1={{clade |1=Abreae |2={{clade |1=Millettieae |2=Diocleae |label2=Phaseoloids |2={{clade |1=Kennediinae clade |2=Desmodieae |3={{clade |1=Cajaninae clade |2={{clade |1=Erythrininae clade |2={{clade |1=Psoraleeae |2=Phaseoleae clade |label2=Hologalegina |sublabel2=(=galegoids) |2={{clade |label1=Robinioids |1={{clade |1=Loteae |2={{clade |1=Sesbanieae |2=Robinieae |label2=IRLC |2={{clade |1=Wisterieae |2={{clade |1=Fabeae |2={{clade |1=Hedysareae |2=Astragaleae
