The Magnoliales are an order of flowering plants. Newer classifications include the following families:
- Family Magnoliaceae (Magnolia family)
- Family Myristicaceae (Nutmeg family)
- Family Degeneriaceae
- Family Himantandraceae
- Family Annonaceae (Pawpaw family)
- Family Eupomatiaceae
Under the Cronquist system, the following families were also included:
- Family Canellaceae
- Family Winteraceae
- Family Austrobaileyaceae
- Family Lactoridaceae
The Magnoliales are a basal group, traditionally included among the dicots but apparently as closely related to the monocots as to most other such plants. They include the genus Magnolia, the type genus for the flowering plants in general, which are thereby called the Magnoliophyta.
