Pamayu is a locality in the Northern Territory of Australia located about 725 kilometres (450 mi) south-east of the territory capital of Darwin.[1][3]

The locality’s name which is pronounced as "Bama-yu" is derived from the local Djingli aboriginal people’s name for the site where the Powell Creek Telegraph Station was located. Its boundaries and name were gazetted on 4 April 2007 and fully surrounds the localities of Elliott and Newcastle Waters. Its boundary with the locality of Elliott was amended on 20 January 2016.[7][1][9]

Pamayu includes the following places that have been listed on the Northern Territory Heritage Register – the Powell Creek Telegraph Station and the Ucharonidge Station No. 1 Bore & Windmill.[10][11]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Pamayu had 33 people living within its boundaries.[2]
