Jerrawa (/dʒɛrəwə/) is a locality in the Upper Lachlan Shire, New South Wales, Australia.

[2][3] It lies on the north side of the Hume Highway about 30 km to the east of Yass and was served by Jerrawa railway station on the Main Southern line between Sydney and Melbourne between 1876 and 1975.

[5] The area now known as Jerrawa lies on the traditional lands of the Gandangara or the Ngunnawal peoples.

The name Jerrawa is said to be a settler rendering of an aboriginal language word for 'iguana',[8][9] probably referring to the goanna.

[20] During the Second World War, with a shortage of coastal shipping, local sources or iron ore were mined to feed the steelworks at Port Kembla.
