Arweet is an important tribal position in the Boon wurrung and Wathaurong tribal peoples of the Indigenous Australian Kulin alliance who live from Western Port, Port Phillip, Geelong to Ballarat.[1][2] An Arweet is a leader or headman and held a similar tribal standing as a ngurungaeta of the Wurundjeri people.

- Ningerranarro ( Died 1847) also known as Benbow of the Boon wurrung[1]
- Noonallaboon (1842–1844), Burrumbeet balug of the Wathaurong[2]
- Balybalip also called Bullurp Bullurp, Bil-le-bil-lup, and King Billy of Ballarat (c.1823-1881), Burrumbeet balug of the Wathaurong[2]
