Ifetedo is a town and administrative headquarters of Ife South in Osun State, Nigeria. The town is popularly known to have one of the campuses of Osun State University's College of Law.
Ifetedo was founded in the early 20th century between the 1900s and 1930s, following the disagreement, particularly over levies and community governance by some settlers from Okeigbo (in present day Ondo State) who themselves migrated from Ile Ife. The area serves as a significant boundary zone along the River Oni, and is often referenced in relation to the Ondo-Ifetedo boundary and the Ife-Ifetedo-Ondo State border road.
