Paynesville is a tourist/holiday resort town in eastern Victoria, Australia, about 300 kilometres east of Melbourne. It is often called the boating capital of Victoria.

Paynesville has, in very recent years, enjoyed an enormous surge of wealthy holiday houses, increasing residential property values by an average of fourfold, and higher for waterfront houses. This has sparked expansive development of the historic canal system to create more water frontage for new houses.

Paynesville's canals create two artificial islands within the township. Burrabogie Island, home to the marina and well known Motor Cruiser Club is at the westernmost end of the small waterfront shopping district, and Fort King Island is a purely residential area. Although Burrabogie and Fort King Island are separated only by a (approx.) 5m-wide canal, they are the most distant points in Paynesville by road.

It is located on the eastern end of Lake Victoria, near Lake King, two of the larger Gippsland Lakes and is a good launching point for exploring the lakes.

Other tourist attractions in the area include:

The nearest towns include Bairnsdale, Metung, and Lakes Entrance.
