Coramba is a small historic town north-west of Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales, Australia. The North Coast railway passes through, and a now-closed railway station was provided from 1922.[2]

In the 1890s, gold was mined in the area.[3]

The village has a pub with accommodation, a post office, a petrol service station, a cafe/take away general store, a vet, fire brigade, backpacker accommodation and is the home of the Orara Valley rugby league club which plays in the Group 2 competition. Coramba Nature Reserve protects the local sub tropical rainforest.
