The Jugnauth Family of Mauritius is a prominent Mauritian family of politicians, statesmen and businessman hailing from the state of Bihar, India in the late 1800s and settled in the town of Vacoas-Phoenix. The family is currently headed by Sir Anerood Jugnauth, former President and Prime Minister of the Country.

The family was earlier headed by Lall Jugnauth, former member of the Independent Forward Block, a Hindu traditionalist party headed by the Bissoundoyal brothers (Sookdeo and Basdeo). Lall who was Attorney General in the government of Seewoosagur Ramgoolam from 1967 until his death in 1971 was the elder cousin of Anerood Jugnauth.

The family has been since headed by SAJ and his wife Lady Sarojini Jugnauth (a former Senior Inspector at the Ministry of Education).

The family is connected with the Ballah family through Lady Jugnauth and Ramdanee Family through Kobita Ramdanee.
