The Chaconiaceae are a family of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales. The family contained 8 genera and 75 species in 2008.[1] By 2020, there were 8 genera and 84 species.[2]

Most species have a tropical distribution. Maravalia cryptostegiae has been used with success as a biocontrol agent against rubber vine in Australia.[3]
