Brauninidae is a monotypic family of trematodes in the order Diplostomida. It consists of one genus, Braunina Heider, 1900,^[2] which consists of one species, Braunina cordiformis Wolf, 1903.^[1]

Braunina cordiformis has been observed to infect certain species of porpoise such as the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus),^[3] the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis),^[4], and the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides).^[5] Braunina attaches to the membrane wall of its host's stomach and damages the wall's tissue, which can cause chronic gastritis in the host.^[6]
