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

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'.

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

History

Newrybar was first settled by Europeans in 1881 and many farmers moved to the area. Some of the first constructed buildings were a general store, a tinsmith and tailor, the Presbyterian Church and the Newrybar Public School. Some of these earliest buildings remain intact.

One of these buildings is the Newrybar Community Hall, previously the Newrybar School of Arts, which was built in 1899 and is used for community functions and events. Each Wednesday it hosts the Newyrbar Eats and Produce Markets.
