Georgetown is a city in Quitman County, Georgia, United States.

It is on the Alabama-Georgia state line next to Walter F. George Lake and across the Chattahoochee River from Eufaula, Alabama.

On September 21, 1836, the name of the town was changed to "Georgetown" after the historic neighborhood in Washington, D.C.[3] Georgetown was designated in 1859 as the county seat of Quitman County and was laid out as a town by order of the Inferior Court.

A brigade of federal cavalry, commanded by General Benjamin Grierson, camped for a time near Georgetown on the banks of the Tobanana Creek at the close of the American Civil War.

GA-27 begins in the city and leads northeast 24 mi (39 km) to Lumpkin.
