Jaun Valley (German: Jauntal, Slovene: Podjuna) is a valley in Carinthia, Austria, between the upper Drava and the Karawanks, east of the city of Klagenfurt.

Unlike the Gail Valley, the Jaun Valley is not named after a river, but after the ancient Roman settlement of Juenna. Nonetheless, the German name has been traditionally deconstructed as Jaun Valley in English for well over a century and continues to be used today.
