Macro-Andean is a speculative proposal by Kaufman (2007) linking languages of the northern Andes.

Kaufman (1990) found lexical support for proposals linking the Jivaro–Cahuapanan families as suggested by Swadesh and others. By 2007 he had tentatively added Saparo–Yawan, which is itself provisional, and Bora–Witoto.
