Saccharomycotina is a subdivision (subphylum) of the division (phylum) Ascomycota in the kingdom Fungi.[2][3] It comprises most of the ascomycete yeasts. The members of Saccharomycotina reproduce by budding and they do not produce ascocarps (fruiting bodies).[2][4]

The subdivision includes a single class: Saccharomycetes, which again contains a single order: Saccharomycetales.[2][3]

Notable members of Saccharomycotina are the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the genus Candida that includes several human pathogens.
