Corymorphidae is a family of hydroid cnidarians. For long placed in a presumed superfamily or infraorder Tubulariida of suborder Capitata, they are actually close relatives of the Hydridae and are now united with these and a number of relatives in a newly recognized suborder Aplanulata.^[1] Most, if not all species in this family grow on stalks and resemble small flowers.

According to the World Register of Marine Species, the following genera are contained in this family:

Branchiocerianthus Mark, 1898
Corymorpha M. Sars, 1835
Euphysa Forbes, 1848
Euphysilla Kramp, 1955
