Pamela M. Kilmartin is a New Zealand astronomer and a co-discoverer of minor planets and comets.^[2]

She is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of 41 asteroids, all in collaboration with her husband, the astronomer Alan C. Gilmore.^[1] Both astronomers are also active comet-hunters. She is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand (RASNZ) and co-director of its "Comets and Minor Planets" section.^[2]^[3] Kilmartin is one of eleven voting members of the International Astronomical Union's working group on Small Bodies Nomenclature, which is responsible for naming asteroids.^[4]

The minor planet 3907 Kilmartin, discovered by Max Wolf in 1904, was named in her honour.^[2] Naming citation was published on 21 April 1989 (M.P.C. 14482).^[5] In 1983, the Eunomia asteroid 2537 Gilmore was already named after both, Alan and Pamela Gilmore.^[6]

In May 2019, Kilmartin and her husband were honoured by New Zealand Post with a stamp in its New Zealand Space Pioneers series.^[7]
