Júbilo Iwata (ジュビロ磐田 Jubiro Iwata?) is a J. League team. The team name Júbilo means 'exultation' in Spanish.

The team's home town is Iwata, Shizuoka prefecture and they play at Yamaha Stadium. For big fixtures such as the Shizuoka Derby with Shimizu S-Pulse or against some of the top teams in the J. League, Jubilo Iwata occasionally play games at the much larger Ecopa Stadium in Fukuroi City, a venue that was built specifically for the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals. They practice at Okubo Ground in Iwata and Iwata Sports Park Yumeria.

The team started out as the company team for Yamaha Motor Corporation in 1970 and played in the Japan Soccer League until it reorganized as the J. League at the end of 1992. They finished in 2nd place of the JFL 1st division, a division below the top flight, in 1993 and were promoted to the J1 league for 1994. The team welcomed Marius Johan Ooft as its manager, as well as the Brazilian national team captain Dunga and a number of foreign players to build a winning team. Dunga's football philosophy deeply influenced the club, initially as a player and currently as an advisor. Since 1997, the club has won a number of titles by relying on Japanese players instead of foreigners who may leave on a transfer during the middle of the Japanese football season. In 2002, the team won both stages of the championship, a first in J. League history.

The team's inspirational leader and talisman is Masashi Nakayama who is affectionately called Taicho, lit. captain, and Gon.
