Eumarrah (born about 1798 in the Midlands near Campbell Town - died 24 March 1832 in Launceston, Tasmania) was an Aboriginal Tasmanian leader.[1] He was known by the names Kahnneher Largenner.[2]

He had been part of the group who travelled with George Augustus Robinson on his Friendly Mission in the late 1820s.[3]
