Cornales is an order of flowering plants, basal among the asterids, which are part of the core eudicots. APG includes the following families:

• Family Cornaceae (dogwood family)
• Family Nyssaceae (tupelo family)
• Family Hydrangeaceae (hydrangea family)
• Family Loasaceae (stickleaf family)
• Family Hydrostachyaceae
• Family Curtisiaceae (cape lancewood)

Under the older Cronquist system the order instead comprised the families Cornaceae, Garryaceae, and Alangiaceae, and was placed among the Rosidae.
