Vahliales is an order of flowering plants established in 2016 under the APG IV system, containing a single family, Vahliaceae, and a single genus, Vahlia, comprising five described species of herbs and subshrubs. The genus is native to Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Indian subcontinent, and had previously been classified within the order Saxifragales before molecular evidence supported its separation into its own order.
