Pike is a hamlet and census-designated place within the Town of Pike in Wyoming County, New York. The population was 371 at the 2010 census. Pike, located near the center of the town at the junction of NY 19 and NY 39, was a village from 1848 to 2009. The Wyoming County Fairgrounds are in the hamlet.
The village was incorporated in 1848, setting itself off from the Town of Pike.
In March 2008, voters in the village agreed to dissolve the village and become an unincorporated community, or hamlet, in the Town of Pike. The reason for the disincorporation was the loss of both population and industry.
The First Free Will Baptist Church of Pike was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
