Munsee (também chamada Munsee Delaware, Delaware, Ontario Delaware) é uma língua em vias de extinção do subgrupo Algonquino Oriental, sendo uma das duas línguas delaware (ou Lanope) . É muito próxima da já extinta Unami Delaware. O Munsee já foi falado por nativos de áreas vizinhas à atual Nova Iorque, Estados Unidos, mais precisamente no oeste de Long Island, ilha Manhattan, Staten Island, Hudson Valley, terço setentrional de Nova Jérsie e nordeste da Pennsylvania.
