Fabales is an order of flowering plants included in the rosid group of the eudicots. This order includes the families Fabaceae or legumes.
The Fabaceae, as the third-largest plant family in the world, contain most of the diversity of the Fabales, the other families making up a comparatively small portion of the divirsity of this order. Research in the order is largely focused on the Fabaceae, due in part to its great biological diversity, and to its importance as food plants.
