Recurvirostridae is a family of birds in the wader suborder Charadrii. It contains two distinct groups:
- The avocets, with long legs and long up curved bills which they sweep from side to side when feeding in the brackish or saline wetlands they prefer.
- The stilts, which have extremely long legs and long thin bills.
