Ptilinopinae is a subfamily of birds from the pigeon and dove family Columbidae. It consists of five extant genera (formerly six) and two extinct genera.
Since 2007 Columbidae have been subdivided into three subfamilies, which are now called Columbinae, Claravinae and Raphinae. The extant genera that were in Ptilinopinae have been placed in the Ptilinopodini tribe of the Raphinae subfamily.
