Embletoniidae is a family of sea slugs, nudibranchs, marine gastropod molluscs, in the clade Nudipleura. There are no subfamilies in the Embletoniidae.

This family was placed in Dendronotida by Miller & Willan (1991), otherwise it is traditionally placed close to Tergipedidae.

The family and the genus Embletonia were named after Dennis Embleton, a British naturalist (1810-1900).

There is one genus:

  • Embletonia Alder & Hancock, 1851
  • Embletonia gracilis Risbec, 1928
  • Embletonia pulchra (Alder & Hancock, 1844)
    • Genera brought into synonymy
  • Embletoniella Baba, 1967: synonym of Embletonia Alder & Hancock, 1851
  • Pterochilus Alder & Hancock, 1844: synonym of Embletonia Alder & Hancock, 1851
