Limmen Bight is a bight, or large, open bay, at the western end of the Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia, about 360 km east of the town of Katherine. It is part of the traditional lands and waters of the Marra people. It was named in April 1644 by Abel Tasman for one of his ships on his voyage of exploration along the northern Australian coast. It contains the second largest area of tidal flats in the Northern Territory.
