Yirrk-Thangalkl (Yir Thangedl) is a dialect of Yir-Yoront, a Paman language spoken on the southwestern part of the Cape York Peninsula, Queensland in Australia, by the Yirrk-Thangalkl people. The language is also known as Yirr-Thangell and Yirrk-Mel.

During the early 1900s (decade), Yirrk-Thangalkl speakers started shifting to the Yir-Yoront dialect with the arrival of the Mitchell River Mission.

Yirrk-Thangalkl has 16 consonants. The inventory is the same as that of Yir-Yoront, except that Yirrk-Thangalkl lacks the retroflex and glottal consonants /ʈ/, /ɳ/, /ɭ / and /ʔ/.
