The Wangkangurru, also written Wongkanguru and Wangkanguru, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Simpson Desert area in the state of South Australia.
Norman Tindale estimated their tribal sway as extending over 14,000 square miles (36,000 km2), taking in the area from Stevenson Creek northwards to Mount Dare.
The southern section of the Arunta (Simpson) Desert also formed part of their territory, while to the southeast, their boundaries ran as far as Kallakoopah Creek and the Warburton River.
[2] Their native title over a large area of the Simpson Desert was recognised in 2014.
The self-referential term Nharla,[4] relating to their language subgroup, is the Arabana word for "man".
