History
Opened 2 June 1891
Closed 1963?

Jeetho was a railway station on the South Gippsland line in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The station was opened during the 1890s, Jeetho was later closed during the 1950s along with the nearby station of Whitelaw.

There is still a Station Street in the Jeetho township area, this is a gravel and dirt road that leads to farm gates, but no longer to the former Jeetho Station. The station was unable to be reinstated as a station on the South Gippsland Tourist Railway due to a realignment of the rail in the late 1960s which placed the (not still existing) platform around 3 m distant from the rail line. Further, the Jeetho township is around 2 km distant from the former station, providing no local community or attractions for locals or visitors even if the station were to be reestablished. There is no longer any form of station building or any other railway infrastructure remaining at the Jeetho site.
