The subfamily '''Spiraeoideae''' is a subfamily of [[flowering plant]]s in the order Rosales.

Most are shrubs, but there are some [[herb]]s. Most have simple leaves, but the genera ''Aruncus'' and ''Sorbaria'' pinnately compound leaves. Carpels are distinct and few (2-5). Most members of the Spiraeoideae produce flowers that, upon seed-set, mature to form fruits that are aggregates of follicles.
