Pancheloniidae is a clade of sea turtles belonging to the sea turtle superfamily Chelonioidea. It is defined as all turtles more closely related to cheloniid sea turtles than to dermochelyid ("leatherback") sea turtles.
The following list of non-cheloniid pancheloniid genera was published by Hirayama and Tong in 2003, unless otherwise noted.
Below is a cladogram showing the phylogenetic relationships of living and extinct sea turtles in the clade Pancheloniidae based on Lynch and Parham (2003) and Parham and Pyenson (2010).
