Anthracomartidae, first described by Haase, 1890, is a family of the extinct arachnid order Trigonotarbida. It is likely to be most closely related to the Archaeomartidae, based on a 2014 cladistic analysis, within the clade (Palaeocharinus (Archaeomartidae + Anthracomartidae)). Many specimens come from siderite nodules of late Carboniferous age in Europe and North America.
Genera Anthracomartidae contains the genera: Anthracomartus Karsch, 1882 Brachypyge Woodward, 1878 Maiocercus Pocock, 1911
The genus also was previously considered to contain other genera before they were later synonymized with Anthracomartus and various species within. These include:
Brachylycosa Frič, 1904 Cleptomartus Petrunkevitch, 1949 Coryphomartus Petrunkevitch, 1945 Cryptomartus Petrunkevitch, 1945 Oomartus Petrunkevitch, 1953 Pleomartus Petrunkevitch, 1945 Promygale Frič, 1904
