Djemna (Arabic: جمنةĞamna), also spelt Jemna, is a small town located in southern Tunisia. The town is part of the Kebili Governorate.

It is surrounded by the Tunisian Sahara. The city is known by its A'in (العين in Arabic) which is a source of healthy water.

Djemna is one of the biggest producers of dates or deglets in Tunisia.
