The Tunica (or Tonica) language was a language isolate spoken in present-day Louisiana in the United States.

When the last known fluent speaker, Sesostrie Youchigant , died, the language became extinct. Linguist Mary Haas worked with Youchigant to describe what he remembered of the language, and recorded his description in A Grammar of the Tunica Language in 1939.
