Tetrameristaceae is a family of flowering plants. The family consists of four species, of trees or shrubs, in two genera:

  • Tetramerista in Southeast Asia
  • Pentamerista in the Guyanas.
  • The APG II system places this family in the order Ericales, of the asterids.

    In the APG III system, the genus Pelliciera, previously treated as its own family, Pellicieraceae, is included in Tetrameristaceae.
