'''Acetobacteraceae''' is a family of Gram-negative bacteria, belonging to the order Rhodospirillales, class Alphaproteobacteria. Two distinct clades are recognized: the acetic acid bacteria and a more heterogeneous group including acidophilic and phototrophic bacteria. The type genus is ''Acetobacter''.<ref name="LPSN">{{cite web|vauthors=Euzéby JP, Parte AC |url=https://lpsn.dsmz.de/family/acetobacteraceae |title=''Acetobacteraceae'' |access-date=June 7, 2021 |website=List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)}}</ref> Ten genera from ''Acetobacteraceae'' make up the acetic acid bacteria.<ref name=Raspor2008>{{cite journal|vauthors=Raspor P, Goranovic D |title=Biotechnological applications of acetic acid bacteria |journal=Critical Reviews in Biotechnology |volume=28 |issue=2 |date=2008 |pages=101–124 |doi=10.1080/07388550802046749 |pmid=18568850|s2cid=86778592 }}</ref>

==History== ''Acetobacteraceae'' was originally proposed as a family for ''Acetobacter'' and ''Gluconobacter'' based on rRNA and DNA–DNA hybridization comparisons in 1980.<ref name=Gillis1980/>
