Dilaridae is a family of Euneuropteran insects in the order Neuroptera, known as "pleasing lacewings". They were formerly placed in the paraphyletic superfamily Hemerobioidea, though the group is currently placed in the monophyletic superfamily Dilaroidea as a sister group to Mantispoidea and Osmyloidea.
There are about 9 genera and at least 100 described species in Dilaridae.
