Janjina is a village and a municipality located in the center of the Pelješac peninsula, in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia. The municipality was established in 1997; previously this area was part of the Ston municipality.

== Village == The village of Janjina includes a tiny fishing harbor and a hamlet called Zabreže (Behind the hill), the name describing its geographic situation. It is divided into five parts: Gornje Selo (The Upper Village) comprising Lovrovići, which together with Bara are known to exist from the 4th century AD. Jaspričići, Prišlići and Dežulovići seem to have been established between the 15th and 16th century.
