The '''Dipsacales''' are an [[order (biology)|order]] of [[flowering plant]]s, included within the [[asterid]] group of [[dicotyledon]]s. In the [[APG III system]] of 2009, the order includes only two families, [[Adoxaceae]] and a broadly defined [[Caprifoliaceae]].<ref name=APGIII2009/> Some well-known members of the Dipsacales order are [[honeysuckle]], [[Sambucus|elder]], [[viburnum]], and [[Valerian (herb)|valerian]].

Under the [[Cronquist system]], the order included Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae [[sensu stricto]], [[Dipsacaceae]], and [[Valerianaceae]].  Under the 2003 [[APG II system]], the circumscription of the order was much the same but the system allowed either a broadly circumscribed Caprifoliaceae including the families [[Diervillaceae]], [[Dipsacaceae]], [[Linnaeaceae]], [[Morinaceae]], and [[Valerianaceae]], or these families being kept separate. The [[APG III system]] only uses the broadly circumscribed Caprifoliceae.<ref name=APGIII2009/>

The Dipsacales appear to be most closely related to the [[Paracryphiales]].<ref name=APGIII2009/>
