The Ranunculales are an order of flowering plants, which belong among the basal eudicots. Newer systems include the following families:

• Family Ranunculaceae (buttercup family)
• Family Berberidaceae (barberry family)
• Family Menispermaceae (moonseed family)
• Family Lardizabalaceae
• Family Circaeasteraceae
• Family Eupteleaceae
• Family Papaveraceae (poppy family)
• Family Fumariaceae (fumewort family)
• Family Pteridophyllaceae

A few other families may be separated out from the Ranunculaceae. In the older Cronquist system, the Eupteleaceae were excluded, and the Papaveraceae and Fumariaceae (including the Pteridophyllaceae) were treated as a separate order Papaverales.
