Jecheon (Korean: 제천; Korean pronunciation: [tɕe.tɕʰʌn]) is a city in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea. The city is a major railway junction or a transportation mecca, served by the Jungang, Chungbuk and Taebaek Lines. Jecheon has scenic surroundings and several tourist spots like the Uirimji Reservoir, Cheongpung Lake and Cheongpung Cultural Properties complex. It is also the home of Semyung University.

The city's name derives from the Korean words je (堤, which means "dam") and cheon (川, which means "river").
