Pewamo is a village in Lyons Township, Ionia County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It was founded in 1857 as a station along the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway. The village name was suggested by J.C. Blanchard in honor of Chief Pewamo, with whom he had hunted along the nearby Grand River. The population was 469 at the 2010 census.

The portion of the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee (Grand Trunk Western) Railway line from Owosso to Grand Rapids on which Pewamo had a station is now defunct.
