Paimuit is an unincorporated community in Kusilvak Census Area, Alaska, United States.

Paimiut is an Eskimo name meaning, "people of the stream's mouth".

Paimiut (of Wade Hampton, now Kusilvak Census Area) first appeared on the 1980 U.S. Census as an unincorporated village given the designation of Alaska Native Village Statistical Area (ANVSA).

Paimiut is not to be confused with two other similar named communities: one was located within Bethel Census Area named Paimute (on the Kuskokwim River) and the other, also named Paimiut, on the Yukon River at the Paimiut Hills within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.
