Moronidae, also known as the "temperate basses", is a family of perciform fish consisting of 6 marine species. Similar to Acropomotidae, Moronidae fish are most commonly found near the coastal regions of eastern North America and Europe.

The fish generally grow to 120 cm in length, although some have been found to exceed 180 cm. They are highly prized as sport fish.
