Nalögo (Nalögo pronunciation: [nalɵᵑgo]) is an Oceanic language spoken on the island of Nendö in the Solomon Islands. It used to be lumped together with Natügu under a single language called the "Santa Cruz language", but the two varieties were recognized to be two distinct languages in 2012.
Together, Nalögo, Natügu and Nanggu are the three indigenous languages of Nendö island.
Nalögo has been described by linguist Valentina Alfarano.
