Jimmy Governor (1875 – 18 January 1901) was an Indigenous Australian who was notorious across Australia for the murders in 1900 of four members of the Mawbey family and their woman boarder, which quickly became known as the Breelong Massacre. He committed the murders with fellow indigenous worker Jacky Underwood at Breelong, ten miles from Gilgandra in the Central West region of New South Wales.
Jimmy Governor and Jack Underwood then took to the bush, together with Jimmy's younger brother, Joe Governor. Underwood was captured just a few days later on 24 July, the same day that a reward of £200 for the capture of each was offered by the government, later increased on 25 September 1900 to £1,000 each. The government instituted a process on 2 October 1900 to proclaim the Governor brothers outlaws so that, when they failed to appear at a police station by the afternoon of 16 October 1900, they became outlaws, who could legally be shot and killed on sight.
