Nuculanidae is a family of small bivalve molluscs in the order Nuculoida.
They have transversely elongated shells, usually rostrate at the posterior end. The interior is white or porcellanous, never nacreous. The hinge has an anterior and a posterior series of small, narrow, vertical, straight or chevron-shaped teeth, divided under the beaks by a small ligament pit.
Nuculanidae species are found in all seas, from shallow to deep water.
