The Hundred of Jellicoe (formerly Hundred of North Rhine) is a cadastral hundred in the County of Eyre in South Australia. It is located on the east Mount Lofty Ranges foothills. The Hundred of North Rhine was proclaimed in 1851[1] but the name was changed in 1918 to current, after Admiral John Jellicoe, as part of a process to remove "names of enemy origin" at the time of World War I.[1]

The Hundred of Jellicoe includes the township and most of the locality of Truro, Towitta, Keyneton and a portion of the western edge of the locality of Sedan.[1]
