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][6]

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.[8][1][10]

The Stuart Highway and the Adelaide-Darwin Railway both pass from south to north on the western side of the locality.[8]

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.[11][12]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Pamayu had 33 people living within its boundaries.[5]

Pamayu is located within the federal division of Lingiari, the territory electoral division of Barkly and the local government area of the Barkly Region.[3][2][9]
