Triviidae is a taxonomic family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cypraeoidea of the order Littorinimorpha.

Taxonomy

The following subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi in 2005:

• Eratoinae Gill, 1871
  • tribe Eratoini Gill, 1871
  • † tribe Johnstrupiini Schilder, 1939
  • † tribe Eratotriviini Schilder, 1936
• Triviinae Troschel, 1863: represented as Triviidae Troschel, 1863

In the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet et al., 2017) Eratoinae is now recognized as the family Eratoidae and Triviinae is considered an alternate representation of Triviidae.
