The Ankamuti, also spelt Ankamuthi, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland.
Language
The Ankamuti spoke one of the Uradhi dialects.
Country Ankamuti territory, according to Norman Tindale, extended over some around the western side of Cape York, as far south as Vrilya Point. Its inland extension was close to the headwaters of the Jardine River. Offshore, they were also on Possession Island and Crab Island (Queensland) and the western islands of Endeavour Strait.
