The Journal du Jura (French pronunciation: [ʒuʁnal dy ʒyʁa]) is a French-language Swiss newspaper published in Biel/Bienne, Canton of Bern. It was founded in 1871, the successor to two prior papers; in this period it served as an outlet for the Jura Liberals. In 1956, it took over its rival paper, Petit Jurassien. It is the sister newspaper to the German-language paper Bieler Tagblatt.
