Curripako (Curripaco, Kurripako, Ipeka-Tapuia-Curripako) is an Arawakan language principally of Colombia and Venezuela.^[2] There are also a thousand speakers in Brazil.

Curripako is quite close to Baniwa (Karu), and Aikhenvald (1999)^[3] considers them to be dialects. (Kaufman (1994) calls Baniwa–Curripako "Karu".^[4]) Various dialects of both Baniwa and Curripaco are called Tapuya. All are spoken by the Baniwa people.
