Eight species in five genera of the family Dictyonellidae, including one new species (Dictyonella chlorophyllacea sp. nov.), are recorded for northern Australia as part of a revision of the order Halichondrida in this region. The genera Dictyonella, Phakettia and Scopalina represent new records for the region. Dictyonella sensu stricto and Phakettia have not been recorded in Australian waters previously. All the species reported here are common throughout northern Australia and are more widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Descriptions and discussion of those species are presented here. Lectotypes for Acanthella carteri Dendy, 1889 and A. aurantiaca Keller, 1889 are designated.
