Spinifex Gum is an Australian musical collective based in Cairns, a collaboration between the Indigenous ensemble the Marliya Choir, Felix Riebl and Ollie McGill of the Melbourne band The Cat Empire, Lyn Williams, and Deborah Brown. The performers share the stories of the Yindjibarndi people in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Spinifex Gum has approximately 30 members, with 12 to 18 performing on stage. The all-female ensemble is aged between 12 and 20, and sings in English and Yindjibarndi. Riebl and McGill act as composers and creative directors for Spinifex Gum, Lyn Williams is the choir director, and Deborah Brown, formerly of Bangarra Dance Theatre, is the choreographer. Their songs tell traditional stories of the Yindjibarndi people, protest the treatment of Indigenous Australians by the justice system, and decry the effect of dams and mining in the Pilbara, such as the threats to the Weelumurra Caves and the destruction of Juukan Gorge. Unlike a traditional choir, each singer has an individual microphone, and their choral harmonies are combined with recorded environmental samples of the Pilbara region over contemporary pop basslines.
