Namaceae is a small family of flowering plants in the order Boraginales with three accepted genera as of December 2025. Its taxonomic status remains unclear as of March 2026. Some sources place its genera in a broadly defined Boraginaceae. A 2025 paper suggested that it should be re-included within Hydrophyllaceae.
