A water well pump is a pump that is used in extracting water from a water well.
They include different kinds of pumps, most of them submersible pumps:
- Hand pump, manually operated
- Injector, a jet-driven pump
- Mechanical or rotary lobe pump requiring mechanical parts to pump water
- Solar-powered water pump
- Pump driven by air as used by the Amish
- Pump driven by air as used in the Australian outback

The pump replaces the use of a bucket and pulley system to extract water.
