Jerilderie, New South Wales, Australia, is a town of 900 people and a Local Government Area, located on Billabong Creek , 640 kilometres southwest of Sydney and 60 kilometres north of the Victorian state border.

Prior to European settlement, the Jerilderie region was inhabited by the Jeithi Aborigines, and the name 'Jerilderie' is thought to derive from their word for 'reedy place'.

A farming centre, the area around Jerilderie produces a quarter of all tomatoes grown in Australia, as well as being a prime Merino stud region. Jerilderie gained fame in February 1879 when the infamous bushranger Ned Kelly and his gang robbed the local bank and wrote the well known Jerilderie Letter, which attempted to justify their actions as a revolt against the Victorian authorities.

Jerilderie was also the childhood home of General Sir John Monash, the Australian military commander who was once considered the greatest living Australian.
