Myoporaceae was a family of plants, found mostly in Australia, which included the following genera:

  • Diocirea
  • Eremophila, also known as Emu Bush
  • Myoporum, also known as Boobiala
  • In the APG II system (continued in the APG III system), it is considered to be part of a fairly small Scrophulariaceae family, along with Buddleja and a variety of plants long classified in the Scrophulariaceae (such as Leucophyllum, North American shrubs which are the closest relatives to the former Myoporaceae.)
