The Solanales are an order of flowering plants, included in the asterid group of dicotyledons. Some older sources used the name Polemoniales for this order.

The following families are included here in newer systems such as that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG):

  • Family Solanaceae (nightshade family; includes Nolanaceae as well as potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, tobacco, and petunias.)
  • Family Convolvulaceae (morning glory and sweet potato)
  • Family Montiniaceae
  • Family Sphenocleaceae
  • Family Hydroleaceae
