Namu is a small native fishing port village on the Inside Passage coast of British Columbia, Canada. The setlement was established in 1893 for fish processing and cannery operations. The village was destroyed by fire in the 1960's, and the cannery was rebuilt and continued operations until the late 1980's.

Namu was the namesake of the famous killer whale Namu, who was captured nearby.
