The Warsangali (also Warsengeli or Warsangeli) ("Mohammoud bin Harti bin Amaleh bin Abdi bin Mohammed bin Abdirahman al-Jaberti") is a Somali clan of the Harti group, part of the Darod clan.

It is the second largest among the harti subclans. The Warsengeli live in Sanaag in the former British Somaliland and the northeastern portion of Bari.

There is another Warsangeli subclan that is part of the Abgaal subclan from the Hawiye clan, but originally from Warsangeli of Harti. The Warsangeli of Abgaal of Hawiye form the second largest clan among the Abgaal subclan. This clan lives in the Banadir region and in the Middle Shabeele that Jowhar is its capital.
