Sinamiidae is an extinct family of ray-finned fish.[2] They are halecomorph fishes endemic to Early Cretaceous freshwater environments in eastern Asia.[2]

Along with Amiidae, it is one of two families that makes up the superfamily Amioidea.[1] The two are distinguished by the shape of their scales.[3]
