Ritharrŋu (Ritharngu, Ritarungo) is an Australian Aboriginal Yolŋu language, spoken in Australia's Northern Territory.

Dialects of the two moieties are (a) Ritharngu, and (b) Wagilak.^[3] Dhiyakuy has been claimed to be another name, but is not recognized. The Manggurra clan now speak Ritharngu, but apparently shifted from Nunggubuyu.
