Ngumbin (or Ngumpin) languages are a small language family of Central Australia, consisting of (from west to east):
- Walmajarri
- Djaru
- Gurindji (Gurindji proper, Bilinarra, Wanyjirra, Malngin, Ngarinyman)

In 2004 it was demonstrated that Ngumbin is related to the neighboring Ngarrkic languages.
