Wulna or Wuna is an extinct Indigenous language of Australia. It was a non-Pama-Nyungan language spoken in the Adelaide River region of the Northern Territory.[3] It is poorly attested and only tentatively classified as being related to Limilngan.[2]

It had one speaker left in 1981, Jack Wandi, who was recorded by Gavan Breen in 1980 - 1981.[1][3]
