Joroinen (; ) is a municipality in the North Savo region of Finland. The municipality has a population of approximately 4,626 people and covers an area of 982 square kilometers.
The bull's head on the coat of arms refers to the municipality's position in the development of agriculture in the 19th century, as Joroinen was home to a dairy and livestock school and the first livestock breeding association in Eastern Finland, and the round shots around the bull's head reminds the ancient location of the parish near the historical Swedish-Russian border and the battles fought there. The coat of arms was designed by Olof Eriksson and was adopted on June 12, 1953.
