Wanguri is a northern suburb of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It is on the traditional Country and waterways of the Larrakia people.

History

Wanguri was one of Darwin's northern suburbs built before Cyclone Tracy in 1974. It derives its name from a clan of the Dangu Aboriginal people, whose land is in east Arnhem Land, near Caledon Bay. The streets in Wanguri are mostly named after early Greek residents of Darwin.

Present day

Major features of Wanguri include the Wanguri Primary School and Wanguri Park. Wanguri experienced a decrease in population between 1996 and 2001.

Wanguri is part of the Wanguri electoral division which also includes Leanyer, Muirhead and parts of Lyons.
