Calopsocidae is a former family of Psocodea (formerly Psocoptera) (book lice) belonging to the suborder Psocomorpha. This family is now considered to be a junior synonym of Pseudocaeciliidae.{{Cite web |access-date = 2021-11-05 |title = Psocodea species file online, Version 5.0 |date = 2021 |last1 = Johnson |first1 = Kevin P. |last2 = Smith |first2 = Vincent S. |url = http://psocodea.speciesfile.org/}}

Members of the family often have a reticulate venation and coriaceous wings, and a head with a sharp vertex, and they are especially diverse in New Guinea.
