The Baining or East New Britain languages are a possible small language family spoken by the Baining people on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea. They were classified as East Papuan languages by Wurm, but this does not now seem tenable.

The languages are:

Baining proper: Mali, Qaqet, Kairak, Simbali, Ura, ?Makolkol (extinct?)
Taulil–Butam: Taulil, Butam (extinct)

Glottolog does not accept that a connection between the two branches has been demonstrated.

The pronouns Ross reconstructs for proto-Baining are,

I	*ŋa	we two	*(ŋ)un	we	*udu

he	*(k)a	they two (M)	*ip	they	*ta

The possessive pronouns his and her are *vat and *vet.
