Eutaw is a ghost town in Bolivar County, Mississippi, United States.[1] The settlement had a port on the Mississippi River called "Eutaw Landing."[2]

The community was located on the Eutaw Plantation, and included a post office, store, church, and cemetery.[1][3] A post office operated under the name Eutaw from 1890 to 1952.[4]

The former community is covered by farmfield and a portion of the Mississippi Levee; the only remnant is the Eutaw Cemetery.[5]
