Yambuk {{IPAc-en|ˈ|j|æ|m|b|ʌ|k}} is a town in Victoria, Australia.

The name Yambuk is an aboriginal word thought to mean 'red kangaroo', 'full moon' or 'big water'. [1][2]

Shell middens in the limestone cliffs to the east of the town indicate that aboriginals had lived in the area for over 2300 years.[3]

European settlement took place in the area when Lieutenant Andrew Baxter and his wife Annie Baxter squatted the Yambuck pastoral run in 1843. Significant racial conflict between aboriginals and europeans occurred around Yambuk at the time - some of the most violent clashes of the western district taking place near the Shaw river and the Eumeralla River. [4][5][6]

The township was established in the 1850s, the Post Office opening 1 March 1859.[7]

The town now has a population of 267 residents.[8]

At the {{CensusAU|2006}}, the town and surrounding area had a population of 540.[9]

It is located where the Princes Highway crosses the Shaw River. It is the site of Pacific Hydro’s Yambuk Wind Farm[10] and the adjacent Codrington Wind Farm.

Yambuk is locally known for the Yambuk Slide, a 33 metre long slide near the lake. Lake Yambuk and the Yambuk Important Bird Area lie between the town and the coast.
