The Pichiaceae are a family of yeasts in the order Saccharomycetales. According to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the family contains four genera, but GBIF lists 15 genera. The family was named by Zender in 1925.
The family is informally known as the methylotrophs clade for their ability to utilize methanol, conferred by a common insertion of the MOX1 (also known as AOX1) methanol oxidase gene.
