Mojavemyinae is an extinct subfamily of geomyoid rodents. When Mojavemyinae was named, it was not assigned to a family, with a relationship to either Geomyidae or Heteromyidae considered equally likely (Korth and Chaney, 1999), but consensus places the type genus, Mojavemys, in Geomyidae (McKenna and Bell, 1997; Feranec et al., 2005).
