Cretatriacanthidae is an extinct family of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish from the Late Cretaceous. It contains two genera, both known from southern Europe.

Placed in the superfamily

Plectocretacicoidei are not known from modern Tetraodontiformes. For this reason, it considered them instead as basal members of an expanded Acanthuriformes (containing Tetraodontiformes and Lophiiformes as superorders, among others).^[4]
