The Town of Georgetown is a territorial charter municipality in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States. The town population was 1,088 at the U.S. Census 2000. It is the county seat of Clear Creek County. The Georgetown Post Office has the ZIP Code 80444.

The town sits at an elevation of 8530 feet (2600 meters), nestled in the mountains near the upper end of the valley of Clear Creek in the mountains west of Denver along Interstate Highway I-70. Although a small town today, the town was a historic center of the mining industry in Colorado during the late 19th century and at one time was the third largest community in the state, earning the nickname the "Silver Queen of Colorado". It has evolved into a lively historical summer tourist center today with many preserved structures from the heyday of the Colorado Silver Boom. The town stretches roughly north-south along Clear Creek, hemmed in by the mountains, with the historic downtown located at the southern (upper) end and modern development located at the northern (lower) end of town.
