Sinembiidae is an extinct family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are at least two genera and two described species in Sinembiidae.

Genera

These two genera belong to the family Sinembiidae:

Both were discovered in the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, and described in 2009. The female of Juraembia ningchengensis had wings, supporting Ross's proposal that both sexes of ancestral Embioptera were winged.
