Tineidae, commonly known as clothes moths, are a group of moths belonging to the superfamily Tineoidea.

Tineoidea includes several families of moths, including the Tineidae, Gracillariidae, and Lyonetiidae.

The larvae of Tineoidea moths are often referred to as casemaking clothes moths due to their habit of constructing silk cases to protect themselves.
