歐托-曼格語系（Oto-Manguean languages、Otomanguean）是一個包含多個美洲原住民語言的大語系。現在只有墨西哥的原住民仍然在使用着。但是在過去，歐托-曼格語系的曼格語的最南分佈到尼加拉瓜與哥斯達黎加。現在使用人數最多的兩個語支是位於墨西哥瓦哈卡州的薩波特克人與米斯特克人，合共約150萬人。在墨西哥中部，特別是在墨西哥州、伊達爾戈州與克雷塔羅州有約50萬人在使用歐托-曼格語系的Otomi和十分接近的Mazahua語言。一些歐托-曼格語系語言正瀕臨滅絕。例如，Ixcatec與Matlatzinca這兩個語言各剩下不到250人的使用人口，而且絕大部分是老年人。其他的位於墨西哥以外的曼格語言已經滅絕，當中包括Chiapanec語言，這是最近才宣佈滅絕的。而與Me'phaa最接近的滅絕語言Subtiaba，只有在20世紀初才有過它的記述。
歐托-曼格語系是中美洲語種最多與分佈最廣泛的一個語系。內部的多樣性可以堪比印度-歐羅巴語系，而原始歐托-曼格語言據估計在公元前2000年前就已經開始被使用。這就是說起碼在過去的4000年裏，歐托-曼格語系已經與中美洲的其他語言共存並發展出共同的特性。在這樣的程度上，已經可以將它們看作是一個語言區域，稱作中美洲語言區。然而歐托-曼格語系同時因多個特色脫穎而出於其他的中美洲語系。它是北美洲和中美洲唯一的所有語言均為聲調語言的語係。同時讓歐托-曼格語系脫穎而出的是它比其它的中美洲語言擁有更多分析語結構。另一個典型特點是，歐托-曼格語系基本上都是以VSO（謂主賓結構）作為語序的。
