屬於蠶豆目中的顯花植物（被子植物）。豆科是被子植物門中的第三大科別，僅次於蘭科與菊科，包含超過700個屬與近2萬種的喬木、灌木、藤本與草本植物等，生長區域遍布全球。其中最重要的商業性植物包括大豆、豌豆、花生、紫苜蓿。大部分的木本植物生長於熱帶，草本植物（亦即非木本）則多生長於溫帶地區。葉片通常為羽狀複葉（羽毛狀），有時為三出複葉（具三片小葉）或掌狀複葉（複葉從同一中心向外發散）。有些樹種的葉子為單葉或是退化成鱗葉。果實多為莢果或豆莢，乾掉時會裂開並釋放出種子。

Family of flowering plants (angiosperms), within the order Fabales. Fabaceae, which is the third largest family among the angiosperms after Orchidaceae (orchid family) and Asteraceae (aster family), consists of more than 700 genera and about 20,000 species of trees, shrubs, vines, and herbs and is worldwide in distribution. The most important commercial species include Glycine max (soybean), Pisum sativum (garden pea), Arachis hypogaea (peanut [groundnut]), and Medicago sativa (alfalfa [lucerne]). Most woody species are tropical; herbaceous (i.e., nonwoody) species occur mainly in temperate regions. The leaves usually are pinnately compound (feather formed), sometimes trifoliate (with three leaflets), or palmate (the leaflets radiating from a common point). The leaves of a few species are simple or reduced to scales. The fruit is typically a legume, or pod, which splits open as it dries, releasing the seeds.
