'''Euphorbiales''' is an order of [[flowering plant]]s that is not currently recognized in the most authoritative modern treatment of plant taxonomy.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Webster |first=Grady |date=January 1987 |title=The saga of the spurges: a review of classification and relationships in the Euphorbiales |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=94 |issue=1–2 |pages=3–46 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.1987.tb01036.x}}</ref> In the [[APG II system]] (2003) the plants involved are mostly placed in the order [[Malpighiales]]. 

A well known system that did recognize the order was the [[Cronquist system]] (1981) which placed the order in subclass [[Rosidae]] and used this circumscription:

*order Euphorbiales
*: family [[Buxaceae]]
*: family [[Simmondsiaceae]]
*: family [[Euphorbiaceae]] (more broadly defined than in the APG II and III systems)
*: family [[Pandaceae]]
