Famili:	Picidae Vigors, 1825

Famili unggas Picidae mencakup Burung pelatuk, Tukik dan geliang-ular Anggota familia ini dapat detemukan di seluruh dunia, kecuali Australia, Madagaskar, dan wilayah kutub yang beriklim ekstrem. Kebanyakan spesies ini hidup di hutan atau habitat Tanah kayu, meskipun sedikit spesies yang diketahui hidup di area gurun.

Picidae adalah salah satu dari delapan familia dalam ordo Piciformes. Anggota dalam ordo Piciformes mencakup, seperti Cirik-Cirik, puffbirds, Takur, Tukan dan Burung pemandu lebah, sudah secara tradisional berkerabat dengan pelatuk, piculet dan wrynecks. Molekuler yang saat ini dipelajari telah memperkuat pandangan ini.
