The Ngarla are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Norman Tindale estimated their territory, to the west of Port Hedland, at around 2,000 square miles (5,200 km2), describing it as lying along the coast to the west of Solitary Island as far as the mouth of the De Grey River.
[a] He set their upriver boundary between Kudingaranga (Mulyie Station) and Tjaljaranja (otherweise known as Taluirina Pool).
Their traditional inland extension was said to run up to Yarrie.
Over the following two years, smallpox swept through the area killing off large numbers of Ngarla.
