Burarran or Maningrida is a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. It includes four languages, none closely related:

*Guragone
*Burarra
*Ndjebbana (or "Djeebbana," also called "Gunavidji, Kunibidji," or "Gombudj)"
*Nakkara

In 1997 Nicholas Evans proposed an Arnhem Land family that includes the Burarran languages.
