The Arnhem Land languages are a language family proposed by Evans (1997) of Australian languages spoken across northern Arnhem Land.
| Arnhem Land | |
|---|---|
| (proposed) | |
| Geographic distribution | northern Australia |
| Linguistic classification | Proposed language family |
| Subdivisions | |
| Glottolog | None |

The name "Arnhem languages" is used by Green (2003) for what Evans calls "Ginwinyguan", and is only tangentially related to this proposal.
The established language families included in this proposal are:
- Burarran
- Iwaidjan
- Giimbiyu (†)
- Gaagudju language (†)
- Umbugarla language (†)
