Juva is a municipality of Finland.

It is located in the province of Eastern Finland and is part of the Southern Savonia region ("Etelä-Savo" in Finnish) some 270 kilometers North-East of Helsinki. It was founded on 19 January 1442, and is the oldest parish/municipality in Finland whose exact date of birth is known. At the time, it was only the second parish in Eastern Finland, and later, several other parishes were separated from it, such as Sääminki , (present-day Savonlinna), Kuopio, Pieksämäki and Joroinen. Secular municipal administration was established in 1868.

Today the municipality has a population of 7,150 (August 2008) and covers an area of 1,346 km² of which 182 km² is water. The population density is 6.1 inhabitants per km². It is mainly an agricultural community, but possesses also some industies, notably WS Bookwell, a major pring press in Finland. The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
