The Futop language, Efutop (Ofutop), is an Ekoid language of Nigeria. The E- in Efutop represents the class prefix for "language", analogous to the Bantu ki- in KiSwahili.

One of a number of similar but distinct languages spoken in the Cross River region, its area includes the town of Abaragba as well as Ekpokpa, Mkpura, Ndim, Okanga-Nkpansi, Okanga-Njimowan, and Okosura. The vocabulary for David W. Crabb's item in Ekoid Bantu Languages of Ogoja was from Mr. Anthony A. Eyam of Abaragba.
