Pongidae (or pongid) refers to mammals of a taxonomical family currently not in use
- Originally, until the last few years of the 20th century, Pongidae comprised all the extant species in the current family Hominidae, excluding Homo sapiens and sometimes including the family Hylobatidae (gibbons).
- Currently pongid may refer to the subfamily Ponginae included in the family Hominidae and comprising only the extant two species of orangutans: Pongo abelii and Pongo pygmaeus.
