'''Macro-Andean''' is a speculative proposal by Kaufman (2007) linking languages of the northern Andes. 

Kaufman (1990) found lexical support for proposals linking the [[Social:Macro-Jibaro languages|Jivaro–Cahuapanan]] families as suggested by Swadesh and others. By 2007 he had tentatively added [[Social:Saparo–Yawan languages|Saparo–Yawan]], which is itself provisional, and [[Social:Bora–Witoto languages|Bora–Witoto]].

==Languages==
Kaufman (2007) posits the following membership. The unclassified languages Urarina, Puelche, Sabela, Taushiro, Omurano are included in the Kawapanan and Yawan branches.
