Jwala Ji Temple (Kashmiri pronunciation: [zaːlɨ d͡ʒiː mandar]) or Jwalamukhi Temple (Kashmiri pronunciation: [zaːlɨ mɔkʰ mandar]) is Hindu shrine in the town of Khrew in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, India.

The temple is dedicated to the deity Jwala Ji, the Kul Devi of many Kashmiri Hindu families.

Every year in the month of Ashadha, the Jwalamukhi Fair is held at the mandir; it exemplifies communal harmony common to the tradition of Kashmiriyat, with both Kashmiri Hindus and Kashmiri Muslim celebrating the festival.
