Jantetelco, officially Jantetelco de Matamoros, is a city in the Mexican state of Morelos. The city serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality of the same name. The municipality reported 17,238 inhabitants in the year 2015 census.
The name Jantetelco comes from Nahuatl words meaning "hill of adobe buildings" and should be spelled Xamtetelko." Remains of adobe foundations have been found at the entrance to the town. A 59 cm high goddess of corn, Xochiketzal, and a circular 15 cm by 25 cm garland and the sign for Xóchitl ("flower") have been found behind the church. Matamoros refers to Padre Mariano Matamoros, hero of the Mexican War of Independence.
