Timor is a locality in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, Australia. It is in the Upper Hunter Shire.

It had a public school from 1879 to 1935. St Peter's Anglican Church opened around 1883, and closed in 2015. ^[3] It increased from one to two services per month in 1901. ^[4]

Timor was host to silver mines in the 1870s, although it is unclear if they were ever profitable. ^[5]

There are limestone caves in Timor. At least one is home to Eastern bent-wing bats. ^[6]
