Illmo is a former community and neighborhood of Scott City, Missouri.

Illmo had its start in 1905 with construction of the nearby Thebes Bridge which connects Illinois and Missouri.[1] The name Illmo is a contraction of Illinois and Missouri.[2] A post office called Illmo was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1982.[3] Illmo was annexed by Scott City in 1980.[4]
