Mawukura (born c. 1924) is an Australian Aboriginal artist and a Walmajarri man.

His country is around Wayampajarti, a jila (a permanent waterhole) in the north-western area of the Great Sandy Desert.[1]

10 years after first starting to paint, his works have been sold to overseas collectors and are represented in the National Gallery of Australia.[2]
