Yucatec-mayaskrift i Dresden-kodeksen frå Chichen Itza på 1000-1100-talet.

Amerikanske urfolkspråk eller indianarspråk er språk som blir eller har blitt tala av amerikanske urfolk. Desse språka høyrer til fleire dusin språkfamiliar eller er isolerte språk. Forsøk på å gruppera dei i tre omfattande språkfamiliar, eskimo–aleutiske språk, na-denespråk og amerindiske språk, er stort sett blitt forkasta av forskarar.[1]

Ifølgje UNESCO er dei fleste urfolksspråka i Amerika kritisk truga, og mange er allereie utdøydde.[2] Språket med flest talarar er sørleg quechua, som har oppimot 7 millionar talarar.
