Guloninae is a subfamily of the mammal family Mustelidae distributed across Eurasia and the Americas. It includes martens and the fisher, tayra and wolverine. These genera were formerly included within a paraphyletic definition of the mustelid subfamily Mustelinae.
Most gulonine species are arboreal to a degree. Some of the fashion furs come from this subfamily, e.g. sable, marten.
