Meandropsinidae is an extinct family of miliolid forams found in Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) to middle Paleocene marine sediments.
Tests, or shells, are multi-chambered with complex interiors, composed of porcelaineous calcite and variable in form, including discoidal, conical, and cylindrical. Apertures are multiple, in one or more rows.
