  Aeolidioidea is a superfamily of sea slugs, the aeolid nudibranchs. They are marine gastropod molluscs in the suborder Cladobranchia.
  
  ## Taxonomy
  
  As of 2019, the superfamily Aeolidioidea consisted of the following families:
  
  * Aeolidiidae Gray, 1827
  * Babakinidae Roller, 1973
  * Facelinidae Bergh, 1889
  * Flabellinopsidae Korshunova, Martynov, Bakken, Evertsen, Fletcher, Mudianta, Saito, Lundin, Schrödl & Picton, 2017

  Synonyms of families within this superfamily include:
  
  * Caloriidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
  * Cratenidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
  * Favorinidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
  * Phidianidae (accepted as Facelinidae)
  * Phyllodesmiidae (accepted as Myrrhinidae)
  * Protaeolidiellidae (accepted as Pleurolidiidae)
  * Spurillidae (accepted as Aeolidiidae)
  
  Gosliner et al. (2007) elevated the subfamily Babakininae, which was within Facelinidae, to the family level, as Babakinidae. A study of facelinid relationships in 2019 removed several facelinid genera to the family Myrrhinidae.
