Voh is a commune in the North Province of New Caledonia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean.

It has become famous for the aerial photography known as "The Heart of Voh", a large formation of vegetation that resembles a heart seen from above. Photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand contributed to its popularity by using a photograph of the 'heart' as the cover to his books "The Earth from the Air" [cite book |last=Arthus-Bertrand |first=Yann |authorlink=Yann Arthus-Bertrand |title=The Earth from the Air |date=1999-10-25 |publisher=Thames & Hudson Ltd |isbn=050001955X] and "Earth from Above" [cite book |last=Arthus-Bertrand |first=Yann |authorlink=Yann Arthus-Bertrand |title=Earth from Above |year=2002 |month=August |publisher=HNA Books |isbn=0810934957] .
