Dictyopharidae (Spinola, 1839) is a family of bugs in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha belonging to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, superfamily Fulgoroidea. The family comprises nearly 760 species in more than 150 genera. Like all other fulgoroids, they have the antennae arising on the side of the head below the compound eye (not between the eyes as in the Cicadoidea). Many species have an elongated frons.
