Pseudochiridiidae is a family of pseudoscorpions. It was described in 1923 by American arachnologist Joseph Conrad Chamberlin. Pseudochiridiids are relatively small pseudoscorpions. They are found in plant litter or beneath tree bark. The family was sometimes treated as a subfamily of the Cheiridiidae, but has since been reinstated.{{cite web |url= https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/fc107e9b-3bd0-4ba3-9268-8e5d88f1fba6|title= Family PSEUDOCHIRIDIIDAE Chamberlin, 1923|author=|date=2023-10-09|website= Australian Faunal Directory |publisher=Dept of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Australia |access-date=2023-11-24}}
