Threskiornithidae (< θρήσκια 'religio' + ὄρνις 'avis') sunt familia avium procerarum ordinis Pelecaniformium quae triginta quattuor species comprehendit. Aves huius familiae ciconiarum similes, rostra longa curvataque habent. In omnibus continentibus praeter Antarcticam sunt endemicae.
Familia saepe in duas subfamilias divisa est, Threskiornithinas (ibes) et Plataleinas (plataleas); nunc autem propter studia genetica aliae divisiones praeponuntur.
