Gutha is a townsite in the Mid West region of Western Australia, convert|32|km|mi|0 north of Morawa.

In 1913 it was decided to establish a train station there, on the Wongan Hills – Mullewa railway. The district surveyor suggested the name "Muthingutha", the Aboriginal name of a nearby rockhole. This was shortened to Gutha by the Lands Department, and Gutha siding was established in 1913. It was gazetted as a townsite in 1914. [LandInfo WA|c|G|2008-10-02]
