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.
