Andoque–Urequena is a language family that consists of a pair of languages, Andoque and Urequena. The close relationship of Urequena to Andoque was first recognized by Marcelo Jolkesky.[1]:285

Urequena (Uerequena, Arequena,[2] Orelhudos) is currently extinct, and is known only from an undated 19-century manuscript by Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer.[3] Natterer gives the Içá River (or Putumayo River) as the location of the Urequena language.[4]

Terrence Kaufman places it in the proposed Bora–Witoto language family.
