A water well pump is a pump that is used in extracting water from a water well. There are many makes of pumps, the foremost being Franklin Electric (American), and Pedrollo (Italian).

They include different kinds of pumps, yet most of them are submersible pumps:

• manual pumpless/hand pump wells requiring a human operator
• mechanical or rotary pump requiring mechanical parts to pump water
• solar water pumps
• DC Submersible Well Pump
• Pumps driven by air as used by the Amish

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