The Pacific giant salamanders (Dicamptodontidae) are a family of large salamanders.
The family includes only a single genus, Dicamptodon. Specimens are up to 30 cm (12 in) long, and are found in the Western USA. Except for their size, they are similar with the mole salamander family (Ambystomatidae) in which they were originally included.
