Coffman is an unincorporated community and coal town located in Ohio County, Kentucky, United States. It was also known as Jimtown. Founded in 1905 by Franklin Olliver Coffman, it included a post office, school, and general store. Mining ceased in 1911 when cheaper shallow strip mining in Indiana began operations.
