Matngele or Madngele is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Northern Territory.

Tryon (1974) classified Matngele with Kamu, and this is accepted by Dixon (2002) and Bowern (2011), though denied by Harvey (1990).

Matngele has only five simple verbs. These must be combined with coverbs in order to form complex verbs.
