'''Epirobiidae''' is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Urocoptoidea.<ref name="Thompson 2012"/>

==Genera == Genera in the family Epirobiidae include:
* ''Epirobia'' Strebel & Pfeffer, 1880 - the type genus of the family Epirobiidae, 13 species<ref name="Thompson 2012"/> * ''Propilsbrya'' Bartsch, 1906 - two species<ref name="Thompson 2012"/> * ''Pectinistemma'' Rehder, 1940 - five species<ref name="Thompson 2012"/> * ''Gyrocion'' Pilsbry, 1904 - probable placement within Epirobiidae; the single species is ''Gyrocion mirabilis'' (Pilsbry, 1904)<ref name="Thompson 2012"/> * ''Prionoloplax'' Pilsbry, 1953 - probable placement within Epirobiidae; the single species is ''Prionoloplax odontoplax'' (Pilsbry, 1953)<ref name="Thompson 2012"/>
