Sapotaceae is a family of flowering plants, belonging to order Ericales. The family includes approximately 800 species of evergreen trees and shrubs in approximately 65 genera (35-75, depending on generic definition). Distribution is pantropical.

Many species produce edible fruits, and/or have other economic uses. Species noted for their edible fruits include Manilkara zapota (sapodilla, sapota), Manilkara chicle (chicle), Chrysophyllum cainito (star-apple ), Pouteria (abiu, canistel, eggfruit), and Sideroxylon australe (Australian native plum ). Trees of the genus Palaquium (gutta-percha) produce an important latex with a wide variety of uses.

The family name is based on Sapota, a name now treated as a synonym of Manilkara (also formerly known by the invalid name Achras).
