Pteridoideae is one of the five subfamilies of the fern family Pteridaceae. This subfamily contains about 14 genera and around 400 species.
Taxonomy
Phylogeny
The following diagram shows a likely phylogenic relationship between Pteridoideae and the other the Pteridaceae subfamilies. |label1 = Pteridaceae |1={{clade |1=Cryptogrammoideae |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=Parkerioideae (syn. Ceratopteridoideae) |2=Pteridoideae}} |2={{clade |1=Cheilanthoideae |2=Vittarioideae}}
The cladogram below shows one hypothesis for the evolutionary relationships among the genera of the Pteridoideae, based on a maximum likelihood analysis using six plastid markers. The authors of the study identified four major clades. The Pteris and JAPSTT clades are found worldwide; the GAPCC clade is pantropical; and the Actiniopteris+Onychium clade is restricted to the Old World. |label1=Pteridoideae |1={{clade |label1=Pteris clade |1=Pteris |2={{clade |label1=Actiniopteris+Onychium clade |1={{clade |1=Actiniopteris |2=Onychium |2={{clade |label1=GAPCC clade |1={{clade |1={{clade |1=Gastoniella |2={{clade |1=Cerosora |2=Pityrogramma |2={{clade |1=Cosentinia |2=Anogramma |label2=JAPSTT clade |2={{clade |1=Jamesonia |2={{clade |1=Pterozonium |2={{clade |1=Tryonia |2={{clade |1=Taenitis |2={{clade |1=Syngramma |2=Austrogramme
Genera
The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) recognized 13 genera. Shortly afterwards, the genus Gastoniella was created for three species formerly placed in Anogramma which a molecular phylogenetic analysis had shown to be distinct.

- Anogramma Link
- Austrogramme E.Fourn.
- Cerosora Domin
- Cosentinia Tod.
- Gastoniella Li Bing Zhang & Liang Zhang
- Jamesonia Hook. & Grev.
- Onychium Kaulf.
- Pityrogramma Link
- Pteris L.
- Pterozonium Fée
