Newrybar is a small historic village located in the Northern Rivers Region of New South Wales; it is 16 kms south of Byron Bay.[2][3] It is on the lands of the Bundjalung people.[4]

The town's name appears to have been derived from a Yugambeh–Bundjalung word, "Nurybar", which apparently mean 'climbing vine' or 'the places where vines grow'.[5]

At the 2021 census, it had a permanent population of 532.[6]
