Plagiotheciaceae is a family of mosses from the order Hypnales. It is found almost nearly worldwide,[1] including Antarctica. Located primarily in temperate latitudes and at higher elevations in the tropics.[2]

Named after Plagiothecium, which has over 150 species.

It originally had 2 subfamilies, Plagiothecioideae (which contained Catagonium and Plagiothecium), and Stereophylloideae (which contained Entodontopsis, Pilosium, Stenocarpidopsis, Stenocarpidium and Sterephyllum).[3]
