'''Litogastridae''' is a family of decapod crustaceans known only from fossils. They survived from the Early Triassic to the Late Jurassic. It was first given the name Litogastroidae, but this does not comply with article 29.2 in ICZN.<ref name="Karasawa et al.">{{Cite journal |last=Karasawa |first=Hiroaki |last2=Schweitzer |first2=Carrie E. |last3=Feldmann |first3=Rodney M. |date=2013-01-01 |title=Phylogeny and systematics of extant and extinct lobsters |url=https://doi.org/10.1163/1937240x-00002111 |journal=Journal of Crustacean Biology |volume=33 |issue=1 |pages=78–123 |doi=10.1163/1937240x-00002111 |issn=0278-0372|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Article 29.
