Luggenemenener (c. 1800 – 21 March 1837) was an early nineteenth-century Tasmanian Aboriginal woman, who lived in the early 1800s. She endured the Black Wars and risked her life to protect her young son from a genocide of her people. Her homeland was in north-east Tasmania's Ben Lomond region. According to the French explorer Nicolas Baudin, Tasmania was originally known as Lutruwita.
