黄杨目（学名：Buxales）是真双子叶植物中的一个目，仅有黄杨科一个科，是真双子叶植物的基底分支之一。

最初，黄杨目是塔赫塔江分类法（Takhtajan System）中设立的一个目，属于木兰纲（即双子叶植物）金缕梅亚纲黄杨总目（Buxanae），下仅有一科：

在Dahlgren分类法中，黄杨目则属于木兰纲（即被子植物）木兰亚纲（即双子叶植物）蔷薇总目（Rosanae），包含了：

1998年根 据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法并没有承认这个目，黄杨科及双颊果科被直接列于真双子叶植物分支之下，交让木科则被归类于虎耳草目。2003年经过修订的APG II 分类法维持原分类，其中黄杨科及双颊果科被建议合并。

The Buxales are a small order of eudicot flowering plants, recognized by the APG III system of 2009. The order includes the family Buxaceae; the families Didymelaceae and Haptanthaceae may also be recognized or may be included in the Buxaceae. Many members of the order are evergreen shrubs or trees, although some are herbaceous perennials. They have separate "male" (staminate) and "female" (carpellate) flowers, mostly on the same plant (i.e. they are mostly monoecious). Some species are of economic importance either for the wood they produce or as ornamental plants.
