Jacup is a rural locality of the Shire of Jerramungup in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The South Coast Highway passes through the locality from west to east while the Fitzgerald River runs through it from north to south. The far south of Jacup is made up of a part of the Fitzgerald River National Park while, in the far north, a small section of the Lake Magenta Nature Reserve protrudes into Jacup.
The majority of the Shire of Jerramungup is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people of the Noongar nation. During the early days of European settlement, the Wudjari people, also of the Noongar nation, moved into the eastern parts of what is now the Shire of Jerramungup, where Jacup is located.
Sections of the No.2 Rabbit-proof fence run along the western border of Jacup, with the road just north of the South Coast Highway still bearing the name Rabbit Proof Fence Road.
