Jeugdjournaal (Youth Journal) is a Dutch television news programme produced by the Dutch public service broadcaster NOS for children. The programme has been broadcast since 1981.

The aim of Jeugdjournaal is to present news that is both of interest and understanding to young viewers, without shying away from the main national and international news headlines. The broadcasts are viewed extensively by older viewers; about one-sixth of the programme's viewership are adults.

Jeugdjournaal is involved in setting up similar shows in several countries where neutral news broadcasts are scarce.

A main evening programme airs at 6:45pm, running for 15 minutes every night. A 5-minute update also airs on weekdays at 4:25pm. The short afternoon updates and a weekly compilation programme are broadcast on the international Dutch-language television station, BVN.
