Opisthocomidae es un grupo de aves, que constituyen la única familia nombrada dentro del orden Opisthocomiformes. El único representante viviente es el hoacín Opisthocomus hoazin, el cual habita en la Cuenca Amazónica y el delta del Orinoco, en Suramérica. Se han identificado varias especies fósiles, incluyendo una de Namibia, en África,[1]​ y otra de Europa, que sugieren que el grupo pudo haberse originado en el Viejo Mundo y pasó luego al continente americano.[2]
