Pima Bajo (Mountain Pima, Lowland Pima, Nevome) is a Mexican indigenous language of the Piman branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family, spoken by around 1,000 speakers in northern Mexico. The language is called O'ob No'ok by its speakers. The closest related languages are O'odham (Pima and Papago) and the O'othams.

There are three major communities in the O'ob No'ok region (Yepachic, Maycoba [es] and Yécora), but many of the people live in small outlying hamlets and on isolated family ranches rather than the larger towns.
