The '''Rhamnales''' <small>[[John Lindley|Lindl.]]</small> are an order of [[dicotyledon]] [[plant]]s in the subclass [[Rosidae]]. In the [[Cronquist system]], the following families were placed here:

* Family [[Elaeagnaceae]] – (Oleaster family)
* Family [[Leea]]ceae
* Family [[Rhamnaceae]] ([[buckthorn]] family)
* Family [[Vitaceae]] ([[grape]] family)

''[[Leea]]'' may be included within the Vitaceae.  The Rhamnaceae are no longer considered close relatives of these other forms, and newer systems move them to the [[Rosales]].  The order then becomes the [[Vitales]].

Under the [[APG III system]] of classification, Rhamnales is not recognized. Instead, the families previously included here under the Cronquist system are included under the following orders:<ref name="apgiii">{{Citation |last=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group |year=2009 |title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=161 |issue=2 |pages=105–121 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x |doi-access=free |hdl=10654/18083 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
* Elaeagnaceae and Rhamnaceae are placed within [[Rosales]]
* ''Leea'', formerly recognized in its own family Leeaceae, is included within Vitaceae, which is recognized in its own order, [[Vitales]]
