Coreoidea is a superfamily of true bugs in the infraorder Pentatomomorpha which includes leaf-footed bugs and allies. There are more than 3,300 described species in Coreoidea.

There are five extant families presently recognized, but the Coreoidea as a whole are part of a close-knit group with the Lygaeoidea and Pyrrhocoroidea and it is likely that these three superfamilies are paraphyletic to a significant extent; they are therefore in need of revision and redelimitation.ToL (1995, 2005)

The families are:

• Alydidae Amyot & Serville, 1843 – broad-headed bugs
• Coreidae Leach, 1815 – leaf-footed bugs and squash bugs
• Hyocephalidae Bergroth, 1906
• Rhopalidae – scentless plant bugs
• Stenocephalidae Amyot & Serville, 1843
• † Trisegmentatidae Zhang, Sun & Zhang, 1994
• † Yuripopovinidae Azar, Nel, Engel, Garrouste & Matocq, 2011
• † Pachymeridiidae{{Cite journal |last1=Dai |first1=Rui |last2=Du |first2=Sile |last3=Ren |first3=Dong |last4=Yao |first4=Yunzhi |date=August 2022 |title=New Cretaceous Bugs from Northeastern China Imply the Systematic Position of Pachymeridiidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) |journal=Insects |language=en |volume=13 |issue=8 |pages=689 |doi=10.3390/insects13080689 |pmid=36005314 |pmc=9408836 |issn=2075-4450|doi-access=free }} Handlirsch, 1906
