The Tetramelaceae are a family of plants in the order Cucurbitales, containing two genera of mostly Asian, large trees, Octomeles and Tetrameles, each with a single species. These genera were formerly placed in the Datiscaceae, but genetic studies confirmed that they do not form a natural clade with the other members of that family.
