The Palamara 'ndrina is a clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal and mafia-type organisation in Calabria, Italy. The 'ndrina is based in Africo, located in the Locride area.

The 'ndrina is historically allied to the Morabito and Bruzzaniti 'ndrine and their activities range from drug trafficking and manipulation of public contracts to controlling the supply of concrete and hiring for public works. Their influence extends further into sectors such as the restaurant industry and real estate, particularly in urban centers from Rome to Northern Italy. Abroad, the 'ndrina has ramifications in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
