Walanyama (pia: Wagwizi; kwa Kilatini: Carnivora) ni mpangilio wa kisayansi ambao hujumuisha aina zaidi ya 280 za wanyama wa ngeli ya mamalia (wanaonyonyesha wadogo wao)[1].
Ukubwa wao unaanzia kwa vicheche wadogo kama (Mustela nivalis), mwenye gramu 25 na sentimeta 11, hadi dubu barafu (Ursus maritimus), ambaye anaweza kupima kilogramu 1,000, na Tembo-bahari wa kusini (Mirounga leonina), ambao wanaume wazima wanafikia kilogramu 5,000 (lb 11,000) na urefu wa mita 6.9 (futi 23).
Wengi wao hula nyama hasa, na ndiyo msingi wa jina la kundi "carnivora" (walanyama). Kuna pia spishi kama rakuni na dubu kadhaa ambao hula chochote, yaani nyama pamoja na matunda, jozi, nafaka na majani kadhaa. Spishi chache zimekuwa walamani kama vile Panda ambao ni dubu wanaokula mianzi pekee.
