Aysheaiidae is a family of lobopodians known from the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Carboniferous. This family contains at most four genera, the type genus Aysheaia, the fragmentary Hadranax (although this may not be a member of the family), the aberrant Palaeocampa, and an undescribed Ordovician fossil from the Soom Shale.
