The Cornaceae is a widespread family, mostly in the north temperate zone, in the order Cornales. The family mostly comprises woody shrubs and trees, in about fifteen genera, although which genera properly belong to this family is controversial. The Cornaceae is best known for two genera, Cornus, the dogwoods, and Nyssa, the tupelos. A third genus, Aucuba, or spotted laurel, is sometimes placed in its own family.

All members of the family have simple leaves and most have attractive fall foliage.
