The Ngurlun languages, also known as Eastern Mirndi, are a branch of the Mirndi languages spoken around in the Barkly Tableland of Northern Territory, Australia. The branch consists of two to four languages, depending on what is considered a dialect: Ngarnka, Wambaya, and often Binbinka and Gurdanji.[1]

The group was formerly thought to be most closely related to the Jingulu language, with this larger group called West Barkly or simply Barkly,[2] but the connection is no longer thought to be genealogical.[1]
