Anaspidesidae is a family of freshwater crustacean that is endemic to Tasmania, Australia.{{cite web |author=J. K. Lowry |author2=M. Yerman |name-list-style=amp |date=October 2, 2002 |url=http://crustacea.net/crustace/anaspidacea/www/anaspid.htm |title=Anaspidacea: Families |accessdate=April 15, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101213163428/http://crustacea.net/crustace/anaspidacea/www/anaspid.htm |archive-date=December 13, 2010 |url-status=dead }} The family contains 3 living genera. This group of crustaceans are considered living fossils. They are commonly and collectively known as the Tasmanian anaspid crustaceans.{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-22/tasmanian-mountain-shrimp-living-fossil/103680898|title=Tasmanian mountain shrimp living fossil|access-date=22 April 2024}}

This family is originally called as Anaspididae. However, genus name Anaspis was preoccupied by the insect genus, Anaspis Geoffroy, 1762,{{Cite web |title=Family ANASPIDESIDAE Ahyong & Alonso-Zarazaga, 2017 |url=https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Anaspidesidae |access-date=2023-03-30 |website=Australian Faunal Directory |publisher=Australian Government}} and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed to Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga.{{Cite Q|Q56036674}}

Anaspiesids have stalked eyes, long antennae and antennules, and a slender body with no carapace.
