Burarran or Maningrida is a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. It includes four languages, none closely related:
- Guragone
- Burarra
- Djeebbana (or Ndjebbana, also called Gunavidji, Gunivugi, Kunibidji, or Gombudj)
- Nakkara
In 1997 Nicholas Evans proposed an Arnhem Land family that includes the Burarran languages.
