Myoporaceae is a family of plants, found mostly in Australia,^[1] which includes the following genera:

• Diocirea
• Eremophila, also known as Emu Bush
• Myoporum, also known as Boobiala

In some recent classifications, it is considered to be part of a fairly small Scrophulariaceae family, along with Buddleja and a variety of plants long classified in the Scrophulariaceae (such as Leucophyllum, North American shrubs which are the closest relatives to the Myoporaceae).^[1]
