Manggurra (N219) is a Yolngu clan affiliated with Dhuwa moiety (Schebeck, 2001:16).

Manggurra (N219) is described as a clan and language name affiliated with Ritharrngu N104, but many now speak Nunggubuyu N128 (online: Yolngu Matha Dictionary; Heath 1980:2 and Schebeck, 2001:17).

For Yolngu language groups see Yolngu Matha N230.
