Vitaceae (or Vitidaceae) are a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants including the grape and Virginia creeper. The family name is derived from the genus Vitis.
The relationships of Vitaceae are unclear. In the Cronquist system, the family was placed in order Rhamnales. The family was placed in the Rosid clade, but not classified in an order, by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). The Angiosperm Phylogeny Web places Vitaceae in its own order, Vitales.
Leea, sometimes classified in its own family, Leeaceae, is included in Vitaceae by the APG and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Web.*Vitaceae at the Angiosperm Phylogeny Web
