Jobo Khatoane (born June 8, 1991) is a professional Mosotho long-distance runner. He was selected to compete in the marathon at the 2012 London Olympics [1] but had to withdraw before the race due to a pelvis injury. [2]

He was scheduled to compete in the men's half marathon at the 2019 African Games but he did not start. [3]

Khatoane won the Mpumalanga Marathon in 2024, billed as Africa's richest marathon, with a prize money of R1 million. [4] However, he, along with other winners, did not receive any prize money, and criminal charges have been laid against the organiser. [5]
