Junland is an unincorporated community in Butler County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The community is at the junction of Missouri routes B (old Route 60) and Z five miles east of Poplar Bluff. It was a station on the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
The shortening and alteration of "jungleland" was descriptive of the condition of the original town site.
On January 29, 2013, an EF2 tornado struck Junland. A small, older, poorly constructed home was leveled, a mobile home was destroyed, and a couple of small structures were blown over. Many trees were snapped along the path.
