Jarun is a neighborhood in the southwestern part of Zagreb, Croatia. It was named after the Jarun Lake formed by the Sava River, now located on the southern edge of the neighborhood.

The lake is the location of a sport and leisure center, Jarun, where people can row, paddle, sail, surf, swim, jog, bike, roller skate, and skateboard. Around the lake are many night clubs and cafes.

The development of Jarun began at the end of the 1970s when it was merely a village, with the building of apartment blocks. Development increased in 1987 due to the building of the sport and leisure center (because of the Universiade in Zagreb the same year). It is currently a middle-class neighborhood with a very low crime rate.

The borders of Jarun are Horvaćanska Street in the north with Staglišće, Hrvatski sokol Street with Vrbani in the west, Vrapčak stream with Gredice in the east and Sava River in the south. Jarun, in the wider sense, also includes the neighburhoods of Staglišće and Gredice.
