Luggenemenener (c1800 - 21 March 1837) was a Tasmanian Aborigine woman who was captured by John Batman in the Ben Lomond district of north-east Tasmania in September 1829. Batman sent Luggenemenener to Campbell Town gaol and kept her two-year-old son, Rolepana (c1827 - 1842) (AKA Benny Ben Lomond) "...whom she had faced death to protect." Batman kept the child so he could rear him himself, and took him to settle Port Phillip where he subsequently died in Melbourne in 1842.
