The Jangil (also Rutland Jarawa) were one of the Andamanese indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands located in the Bay of Bengal. They were distributed through the interior of Rutland Island and were given the name Rutland Jarawa because it was supposed that they were related to the neighbouring Jarawa peoples. Since they were first encountered and documented in the mid-19th century direct contacts with them remained scarce and they generally sought to avoid such encounters.
