Wrens are in the family Troglodytidae. It's primarily a new world family; as far as I know the eurasian Wren is the only member of the family normally found outside the americas. There are superficially similar birds that have also been called wrens such as the New Zealand wrens (Acanthisittidae) and the Australian wrens (Maluridae) but these families are related to Troglodytidae only very distantly as members of the order Passeriformes.
