The '''Juglandaceae''', also known as the Walnut Family, is a family of [[tree]]s, or sometimes shrubs, in the order Fagales. Various members of this family are native to the [[Americas]], [[Eurasia]], and [[Southeast Asia]].

Members of the walnut family have large aromatic leaves, that are usually alternate, but opposite in ''Alfaroa'', ''Oreomunnia''. The [[leaf|leaves]] are pinnately compound, or ternate, and usually 20-100 cm long.
The trees are wind-pollinated, the flowers usually arranged in [[catkin]]s, and the [[fruit]] is a true botanical [[nut (fruit)|nut]]. <br clear = left>

There are eight genera in the family, including the commercially important [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-producing trees [[walnut]] (''Juglans''), [[pecan]] (''Carya illinoinensis''), and [[hickory]] (''Carya''). The Persian walnut, ''[[Juglans regia]]'', is one of the major nut crops of the world. Walnut and hickory are also valuable timber trees.
