**Stixaceae** is a family in the plant order [Brassicales](/source/Brassicales). It is no longer recognised by most taxonomists. The three genera formerly included in Stixaceae — *[Forchhammeria](/source/Forchhammeria)*, *[Stixis](/source/Stixis_(plant))* and *[Tirania](/source/Tirania)* — have sometimes been placed instead in the [Capparaceae](/source/Capparaceae), but it is now clear that they do not belong there. It is unknown where they do belong though, so currently they are unplaced at family rank. In the [APG IV system](/source/APG_IV_system), the genera comprising Stixaceae are included in the family [Resedaceae](/source/Resedaceae).
