Diplocentridae is a family of scorpions. The roughly 120 species are mostly native to the New World, except for genus Nebo, which is distributed in the Middle East.
A 2003 study suggests that this family is better treated as a subfamily of the Scorpionidae.

- Subfamily Diplocentrinae Karsch, 1880
- Bioculus Stahnke, 1968
