Berenicidae or Berenikidai (Ancient Greek: Βερενικίδαι) was a deme of ancient Attica, of the phyle of Ptolemais, sending one delegate to the Athenian Boule. It was established in 224/3 BCE and named after Berenice II of Egypt.
Its site is unlocated, but probably near Eleusis as inscriptions referring to the place have been found in the vicinity.
