The '''Facelinidae''' is a family of aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs.<ref name="WoRMS">Bouchet, P. (2012). Facelinidae.

== Taxonomy == According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005, this family contains the following subfamilies:<ref name="Bouchet 2005">{{Bouchet 2005}}</ref> * Facelininae <small>Bergh, 1889</small><ref name="Bergh1889"/> - synonyms: Caloriidae <small>Odhner, 1968</small>; Phidianidae <small>Odhner, 1968</small>; Pruvotfoliinae <small>Tardy, 1970</small> * Babakininae <small>Roller, 1973</small><ref>Roller R.
