The Pump Branch is a 7.7-mile-long (12.4 km) tributary of Albertson Brook in southern New Jersey in the United States.
The Pump Branch arises at Virginia Lake in Winslow, flows under and along the former Atlantic City Railroad main line to the hamlet of Cedar Brook, where it turns east and is dammed to form Hobb Lake, in the vicinity of Bates Mill. Just downstream is another series of dams and lakes, built for Camp Haluwasa. Passing through Ancora, it joins with Blue Anchor Brook to form Albertson Brook.

hover over me for my lame hours
and my lame days. The mechanics
of the body pump for their tricks.”

You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
