Degollado (Spanish: [deɣoˈʝaðo]) is a small town and municipality located in the Mexican state of Jalisco, in the cultural region of Ciénega, just south of Los Altos. The town is mainly rural in nature, but the municipality encompasses several concentrated residential areas, such as Huascato, Los Ranchitos, La Vibora, Buenos Aires, Las Limas, Altamira, La Chancla and El Corral de Piedra.

The town is named after Mexican general Santos Degollado.[2] A statue of him is in the Jardin de Niños which was made from coins from the townspeople during the early 1960s.
