Juazeiro, formerly also written Joazeiro, is a municipality in the state of Bahia, in the northeastern region of Brazil. The city is twinned with Petrolina in the state of Pernambuco, and the two are connected by a modern bridge across the São Francisco River. Together they form the metropolitan region of Petrolina-Juazeiro, an urban conglomerate of close to 500,000 inhabitants. The 2022 census counted 237,821 inhabitants in the municipality, of whom 185,413 lived in the urban place of Juazeiro itself, with the rest spread over smaller villages and rural districts such as Carnaíba do Sertão, Itamotinga and Maniçoba. It should not be confused with Juazeiro do Norte in the neighbouring state of Ceará.
