A winch controller with automatic shut-off, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative winch (100) can include a frame, a cable drum (104) carried by the frame, a drive motor (106) connected to the cable drum, and a winch control module (108). The control module can include an enable/disable circuit having a normally open ground path connection and a controller having wireless capability. The controller (108, 120, 122) can include instructions to start a shut-off timer when the ground path connection is completed for a non-zero period of time less than a threshold time period and instructions to reset the shut-off timer when the controller receives a control signal from a wireless remote control prior to the shut-off timer expiring. The controller can also include instructions to turn off the controller when the shut-off timer expires prior to receiving a control signal from the remote control or when the ground path is subsequently completed.
