The Wemba-Wemba are an Indigenous Australian group in north-Western Victoria and south-western New South Wales, Australia,[1] including in the Mallee and the Riverina regions. They are also known as the Wamba-wamba.[2]

Before European settlement in the nineteenth century, the Wemba-Wemba occupied the area around Swan Hill, Victoria,[3] Dunolly[4] and Creswick.[5] Norman Tindale recorded the tribe as on the Loddon River from Kerang, Victoria north to Swan Hill; on the Avoca River south to near Quambatook; northeastward to Booroorban, New South Wales and Moulamein; near Barham; at Lake Boga and Boort, Victoria.[2]
