Alyawarre are an Indigenous Australian people, or language group, from the Northern Territory.
In 1980 they lodged a land claim with the Wakaya people, which was handed back to them on 22 October 1992. The size of the land was 2065 km². [1]
The Utopia community, 250km north east of Alice Springs, and set up in 1927, is partly on Alyawarre land, partly on land of the Anmatyerre. [2]

- Ngarla Kunoth who played Jedda in the 1956 Chauvel film of the same name, was from Utopia Station (as it was then known).
- Highly regarded painter M. Pwerle is from Alyawarre and Anmatyerre language groups.
