Pyramidellinae is a taxonomic subfamily of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.

It is one of eleven recognised subfamilies of the marine gastropod family Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Ponder & Lindberg, 1997), which are as follows: Odostomiinae, Turbonillinae, Chrysallidinae, Cingulininae, Cyclostremellinae, Sayellinae, Syrnolinae, Eulimellinae, Pyramidellinae, Odostomellinae and Tiberiinae.

However, in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005), this subfamily consists of the following tribes , adding the tribe Sayellini containing only two genera Sayella Dall, 1885 and Petitilla Wise, 1997 :

**Tribe Pyramidellini Gray, 1840 (= subfamily Pyramidellinae)
**Tribe Sayellini Wise, 1996 (= subfamily Sayellinae)

According to Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgen (1999) there are 12 genera within the Pyramidellinae.
