In taxonomy, the Thermococcaceae are a family of the Thermococcales. Almost all species within the three genera of Thermococcaceae were isolated from hydrothermal vents in the ocean. All are strictly anaerobes.{{cite book|first1=Gerrit J.|last1= Schut|author2=Gina L. Lipscomb|author3=Yejun Han|author4=Jaspreet S. Notey|author5=Robert M. Kelly|author6=Michael M. W.
