Kieferville is an unincorporated community in Putnam County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1]

Kieferville was platted in 1870 when the railroad was extended to that point.[2] The community was founded by D. A. Kiefer, and named for him.[3][4] A post office was established at Kieferville in 1876, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1905.[5]
