Uwinymil, also spelt Uwinjmil and also known as Awinmul, is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia.[2]

Speakers of the language were recorded as inhabiting the area around Mt Bundey and Mount Goyder.[1] The Uwinymil people's country is now in Kakadu National Park, and the people are part of a group to whom native title was granted in March 2022.[3]
