Agamidae, many species of which are commonly called dragons or dragon lizards, is a family containing 582 species in 64 genera of iguanian lizards indigenous to Africa, Asia, Australia, and a few locations in Southern Europe. 

Agamidae is derived from New Latin by combining the genus name Agama with the suffix -idae (indicating a zoological family, from Latin/Greek -ides, "descendant of"). The name stems from Agama, a term used for these lizards. The origin of the term Agama is unknown.
