Gomphomacromiidae is a small family of dragonflies within the superfamily Libelluloidea, occurring both in southern South America (Chile) and Australia.

The family comprises two genera, Archaeophya and Gomphomacromia, together containing a small number of species characterised by a combination of morphological traits that historically made their higher-level placement uncertain.
