Malgana is an Australian Aboriginal language. It is considered a member of the Kartu group of the large Southwest branch of the Pama–Nyungan family of languages.

Malgana country is the area around Shark Bay in Western Australia. In particular it includes the Peron and Edel Land Peninsulas as well as some of the adjoining land. The Yamaji Language Centre has been carrying out work on the Malgana language since 1995 and has produced an illustrated wordlist as well as grammatical materials and a dictionary (the latter two unpublished).
