Jitarning is a locality in the Shire of Kulin in Western Australia, with a population of 63 according to the 2021 Census.

Michael Brown, founder of the Narrogin Road Board and the Narrogin Flour Mills, took up a pastoral lease and established a base camp at Jitarning (formerly Geetaring) soak.

The presence of the nearby water sources drew in settlers and future residents.

Jitarning was gazetted in 1917[2] after the construction of the Merredin to Yilliminning railway line connected the small settlement.

[3] An inability to get a liquor licence hindered Jitarning's development into a small town; the neighbouring Kulin's hotel had a licence, so it outcompeted Jitaring, causing Kulin's continual development and hindering Jitarning's growth.
