Laramba is a small town in the Northern Territory of Australia,[2] around 205 km (127 mi) west of Alice Springs (2.5 hours by road). Access to the community is via the Napperby Station road.[3]

In the 2016 Australian census, Laramba's population numbered 239.[1] It lies within the Central Desert Regional Council LGA.[3]

On 2 July 2013 the Federal Court of Australia sat at Laramba to recognise non-exclusive native title rights of the Anmatyerr and Arrernte people over land which includes Napperby Station, which continues to operate as a pastoral lease.[4][5]

The Laramba Football Club, whose team is known as the Laramba Cowboys,[6] play in the Central Australian Football League.[7] The club has implemented a Domestic Violence Action Plan, which helps to educate the juniors about being positive male role models.[6]
