In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 57 is a family of glycoside hydrolases.

Glycoside hydrolases are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 100 different families. This classification is available on the CAZy web site, and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.

Glycoside hydrolase family 57 CAZY GH_57 comprises enzymes with several known activities; alpha-amylase (), 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (), α-galactosidase (); amylopullulanase (); branching enzyme (). It includes a thermostable alpha-amylase with a broad substrate specificity from the archaebacterium Pyrococcus furiosus.
