Gajirrawoong, also written Gajirrabeng, Gadjerawang, Gadjerong, Gadyerong and Kajirrawung, is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. It is at least endangered and possibly extinct; as of 2004 it was known by only three or four fluent speakers,[3] and in the 2016 Australian Census, there were no recorded speakers using it at home.[4] It is in the Jarrakan language family,[2] and is the language of the Gajirrawoong people.

The nearby Gurindji language is known to have borrowed from Gajirrawoong.[5]
