Bignoniaceae is a family of plants from the order Lamiales. They also call it the Bignonias. Most species are woody trees, shrubs, and vines and they are mostly tropical. Jacaranda is probably one of the most well-known and popular species. This family includes about 85 genera with about 841 accepted species. Antoine Laurent de Jussieu first validly published this family in Genera Plantarum, in 1789. It was also published by Linnaeus in 1753. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708), the French botanist, named the family after Jean-Paul Bignon (1662-1743), the French statesman and librarian to Louis XIV.

Species have leaves that are opposite or whorled and are usually pinnately compound. The species in the Bignoniaceae family usually have bisexual and zygomorphic flowers. The seeds are capsular containing winged seeds, occasionally wingless.

The largest group of species is Bignonieae which includes mostly lianas. Many of the plants are from South America.
