Kalunguyeye ni wanyama wenye miiba wa nusufamilia Erinaceinae katika familia Erinaceidae.

Wanyama wengine walio na miiba ni nungunungu na ekidna, lakini hawa hawana mnasaba mmoja na kalunguyeye. Nungunungu wamo katika oda ya wagugunaji (Rodentia) na ekidna katika oda ya mamalia wanaotaga mayai (Monotremata).

Mara nyingi kalunguyeye huitwa walawadudu (oda ya zamani Insectivora). Kwa kweli hula wadudu na arithropoda wengine, nyungunyungu, konokono, vyura, nyoka, mayai ya ndege, mizoga, nyoga, mizizi ya nyasi, beri na matikiti.
