The Umbugarla language is an Australian language isolate spoken by just three people in Arnhem Land, northern Australia, as of 1981. It may now be extinct.

It had been suggested that Umbugarla may be related to the Ngurmbur isolate, forming a Umbugarla-Ngurmbur language family. In 1997, however, Nicholas Evans proposed an Arnhem Land family that includes Umbugarla without Ngurmbur.
