Numbulwar is a small, primarily Aboriginal community on the Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Permanent settlement began in 1952 with the founding of the Rose River Mission by local Aboriginal communities and the Church Missionary Society.[2]

The Mission operated until the 1970s when community control passed to the Numbulwar Numburindi Community Council.[2].

The community consists of a general store, a police station, a community school, an engine repair shop, a post office and about 670 residents. Mission Aviation Fellowship has a base in Numbulwar which provides air services for the community.
