The Quambalariaceae are a family of fungi in the class Exobasidiomycetes. The family contains the single genus Quambalaria,{{MycoBank|500889}} which in turn contains nine species. Quambalaria was circumscribed in 2000 to accommodate plant pathogenic species—previously classified in Ramularia and Sporothrix—that were known to infect Corymbia trees in Australia, causing a leaf spot and shoot blight and canker disease.
