Yarramundi (circa 1760 – after 1818) was an Indigenous Australian called by Europeans “the chief of the Richmond Tribe” or “Tribes”. He was a member of the Boorooberongal clan of the Darug people, and was a garadyi or “doctor”.
Yarramundi and his father Gombeeree met Governor Arthur Phillip on April 14, 1791, and this meeting is described by Watkin Tench (who spells his name Yellomundee) in his A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson, published in 1793.
