Warluwarra is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland.

R. M. W. Dixon (2002) places Warluwara in the Southern Ngarna subgroup, along with Wagaya, Yindjilandji, and Bularnu. This is in turn related to Yanyuwa.[citation needed]

The Warluwara had a developed signed form of their language.[3]
