Zygophylloideae is a subfamily of the family Zygophyllaceae. The subfamily comprises about 180 species of shrubs, subshrubs and herbs, found throughout arid parts of the Palaeotropics and into North and South America. As of February 2025, the division of the subfamily into genera is disputed, with between four and seven genera accepted by different sources.
