Middle Juba (Somali: Jubbada Dhexe, Arabic: جوبا الأوسط, Italian: Medio Giuba) is an administrative region (gobol) in southern Somalia.[4] With its capital at Bu'aale, it is located in the autonomous Jubaland region.

Middle Juba is bordered by the Somali regions of Gedo, Bay, Lower Shabelle (Shabellaha Hoose), and Lower Juba (Jubbada Hoose) and the Indian Ocean. The region is named after the Jubba River that runs through it.

The region's economy is largely based off agricultural production, and its products are sesame, corn, millet, beans, sorghum, and large fruits.[5]

Middle Juba is the only region in Somalia to be fully controlled by Al-Shabaab, a militant Islamic extremist group.[6] As of 2022, Middle Juba has the lowest Human Development Index score in the world out of 1,790 subnational regions.[7]
