白蟻科為白蟻演化樹上最末端的類群，多樣性極高。有些物種具有工蟻多形性，有些具有兵蟻多形性，有些則同時具有工蟻及兵蟻多形性；有些物種沒有兵蟻，有些則具有高度特化的兵蟻。
過往白蟻科分為下列四個亞科：
- 弓白蟻亞科 Amitermitinae Kemner, 1934：有爭議
- 白蟻亞科 Termitinae
- 大白蟻亞科 Macrotermitinae
- 象白蟻亞科 Nasutitermitinae
根據Engel (2011)，原弓白蟻亞科被併入原白蟻亞科；現時白蟻科分為以下八個亞科[1]：
- Apicotermitinae Grassé & Noirot, 1954 [1955] (異名：Indotermitidae Roonwal & Sen Sarma in Roonwal, 1958)
- Cubitermitinae Weidner, 1956
- Foraminitermitinae Holmgren, 1912 (synonym: Pseudomicrotermitinae Holmgren, 1912)
- 大白蟻亞科 Macrotermitinae Kemner, 1934, nomen protectum [ICZN 2003] (異名：Acanthotermitinae Sjöstedt, 1926, nomen rejiciendum [ICZN 2003]; Odontotermitini Weidner, 1956
- 象白蟻亞科 Nasutitermitinae Hare, 1937
- Sphaerotermitinae Engel & Krishna, 2004a
- Syntermitinae Engel & Krishna, 2004a (異名：Cornitermitinae Ensaf et al., 2004, nomen nudum)
- 白蟻亞科 Termitinae Latreille, 1802 (異名： Microcerotermitinae Holmgren, 1910b; Amitermitinae Kemner, 1934 (disputed); Mirocapritermitinae Kemner, 1934; Mirotermitini Weidner, 1956; Capritermitini Weidner, 1956)
