Kimberley Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, known as Kimberley Land Council, (KLC) is an association of Aboriginal people in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The land council was formed at a meeting at Noonkanbah Station in May 1978.[1][2] The corporation is registered with the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations as ICN (Indigenous Corporation Number) 21.[3]

The Uunguu (Wunambal) and Dambimangari (Worrorra) determinations, which formed part of Wanjina Wunggurr claim, were made in May 2011.[5][6]
