Several ships have been named Juno for the Roman goddess Juno.

  • Juno (1793 ship) was launched at Hull as a West Indiaman. French privateers once detained her and once captured her, but the Royal Navy recaptured her. She made one voyage as a whaler in the Southern Whale Fishery, and then participated as a transport in a naval expedition. She then disappears from readily accessible records. However, she may be the ship Juno which sailed out of Bremen for the Seal Coast and Greenland in February of 1853.[1]
  • Juno (1797 ship) was an English merchantman launched at Lancaster. A French frigate captured her in a notable single-ship action in 1804 off the American coast and later burnt her.
  • PS Juno (1868), a twin funnelled iron-built paddle steamer on the Bristol to Cork run (1868–1900)
  • PS Juno (1898), a Clyde paddle steamer
  • PS Juno (1937), a Clyde steamer, requisitioned to serve as the auxiliary minesweeper HMS Helvellyn and declared a constructive loss after an enemy bombing raid over London in 1941
