Wik-Mungknh, also often called Wik-Mungkan, is a Paman language spoken on the northern part of Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia, by the Wik-Mungknh people. It is composed of two dialects, Wik-Mungknh proper and Wik-Iiyanh (Wik-Iiyenj, Wik-Iiyanji, Mungkanhu), and and is one of the Wik languages. As of 1996 there were 480 speakers of the languages, and another 600 speakers who had Wik-Mungknh as their second language. The English language has borrowed at least one word from Wik-Mungknh, that for the taipan, a species of venomous snake native to the region. A dictionary of Wik-Mungknh has been compiled by Christine Kilham.
