The Dilleniales are an order of flowering plants, potentially containing one family, Dilleniaceae. The APG III system of 2009, like the earlier APG II system of 2003, left the Dilleniaceae unplaced as to order, while noting that the name Dilleniales was available.{{Cite journal |last=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group |year=2009 |title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=161 |issue=2 |pages=105–121 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x |doi-access=free |hdl=10654/18083 |hdl-access=free }} Stevens at the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website has subsequently placed Dilleniaceae in the order Dilleniales.{{Citation |last=Stevens |first=P.F. |title=Angiosperm Phylogeny Website |url=http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/orders/dillenialesweb.html#Dilleniaceae |access-date=2014-09-20 }}

The Cronquist system, of 1981, recognized such an order and placed it in subclass Dilleniidae. It used the following circumscription:{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}

• order Dilleniales
• : family Dilleniaceae

The Takhtajan system of 1969 had the families Dilleniaceae and Crossosomataceae in the order.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}

The APG III system assigned the second of these families, the Paeoniaceae, to the order Saxifragales.
