Ritharrŋu (Ritharngu, Ritarungo) is an Australian Aboriginal Yolŋu language, spoken in Australia's Northern Territory.

Dialects of the two moieties are (a) Ritharngu, and (b) Wagilak. Dhiyakuy has been claimed to be another name, but is not recognized. The Manggurra clan now speak Ritharngu, but apparently shifted from Nunggubuyu.
