'''Micronectidae''' is a family of water boatmen often referred to as '''pygmy water boatmen'''. They were originally classified as a subfamily under Corixidae but were raised to family level by Nieser (2002).<ref>{{cite journal |last=Nieser |first=Nico |date=2002 |title=Guide to aquatic Heteroptera of Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia.
