The Nyanzapithecinae or Nyanzapithecines are a subfamily of extinct Dendropithecidae as sister of Simiolus. The group contains Rangwapithecus, Turkanapithecus, Rukwapithecus, Oreopithecus, and Nyanzapithecus. In the following tree the internal structure of Nyanzapithecinae of Nengo et al. is followed.

- Rangwapithecus <small>Andrews, 1974</small>
- Rangwapithecus gordoni <small>Andrews, 1974</small>
- Turkanapithecus <small>Leakey & Leakey, 1986</small>

Nengo et al. suggest: "Nyanzapithecines were a long-lived and diverse group of Miocene hominoids that are probably close to the origin of crown hominoids."
