Jatibonico is a municipality and town in the Sancti Spíritus Province of Cuba.

A gallery of stained glass windows can be found at Jatibonico's St. Joseph Catholic Parish Church, unique in its kind in the whole of Cuba.

[3] The Jatibonico Oil Field was discovered in the early 1950s by Grupo Jarueca after surface oil seeps were noticed in the area.

Oil was discovered at a depth of about 1,100 feet in a marly shale within a structural high.

This was the first new field discovered in the post-World War II era and the start of several more fields in the Central Basin of Cuba.
