The Wik languages are a subdivision of the Paman languages consisting of sixteen languages, all spoken on the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia. This grouping was first proposed by R. M. W. Dixon.^[1] The Ethnologue classification is slightly different and some of the languages have other names.^[2]

Note that each of the Kugu-Muminh languages may have the prefix Wik- instead of Kugu-.
