Laguna Joyuda is a natural reservoir located in the municipality of Cabo Rojo in Puerto Rico.

The lagoon is one of only two natural reservoirs in the island of Puerto Rico (the other being Tortuguero Lagoon), and is home to an ample variety of species.

The lagoon is connected to the ocean through a small channel on the south of it, and is frequently used for fishing.
