The Jangil (also Rutland Jarawa or Rutland Onge) were one of the Indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands in India. They lived in the interior of Rutland Island, and were given the name Rutland Jarawa because it was supposed that they were related to the neighboring Jarawa people.

Very little information about the Jangil community is known[1] and they do not receive much attention from Andamanologists. They went extinct sometime in the early 1900s.[2]
