Callionymiformes /kæliˈɒnɪmɪfɔːrmiːz/ is an orderofbony fish containing two families, the dragonets Callionymidae and the Draconettidae. In some taxonomies these families make up the suborder Callionymoidei of the wider grouping known as Perciformes,^[1] Nelson (2016) recognised the order^[2] but subsequent workers have suggested that if Callionymiformes is recognised as an order then the order Syngnathiformes is rendered paraphyletic and include Callionmyoidei within that taxon.^[3]

The two families placed under Callionymiformes in Nelson 2016 are:^[2]
