Pa Umor is a settlement in the Marudi division of Sarawak, Malaysia.[1][2] It lies approximately 623.9 kilometres (388 mi) east-north-east of the state's capital, Kuching.

The village lies about an hour’s walk east of Bario, and is only a few kilometres from the Indonesian border. There is a salt spring close to Pa Umor, significant because, without a local source of salt, inhabitants would have to travel to the coast for it.[3]

In 2007 the village population was made up of about forty Kelabit families.[4]
