Molytinae is a subfamily of weevils described by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823.

Molytinae includes the following tribes:

* Amalactini
* Aminyopini
* Amorphocerini
* Anchonini
* Cholini
* Cleogonini
* Conotrachelini
* Cycloterini
* Dinomorphini
* Euderini
* Galloisiini
* Guioperini
* Hylobiini
* Ithyporini
* Juanorhinini
* Lepyrini
* Lithinini
* Lymantini
* Mecysolobini
* Metatygini
* Molytini
* Nettarhinini
* Pacholenini
* Paipalesomini
* Petalochilini
* Phoenicobatini
* Phrynixini[1]
* Pissodini
* Sternechini
* Styanacini
* Thalasselephantini
* Trachodini
* Trigonocolini
* Trypetidini[1]

In many older treatments, the Bagoinae, Cryptorhynchinae, Hyperinae, Lixinae and Mesoptiliinae are included in the Molytinae as "tribus groups", as well as the Itini which are otherwise considered a tribe of the Curculioninae.
