Juyom County (Persian: شهرستان جویم) is in Fars province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Juyom,[2] whose population at the 2016 National Census was 8,010 in 2,434 households.[3]

After the census, Juyom District was separated from Larestan County in the establishment of Juyom County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Juyom as its capital and only city.[2]

Juyom Rural District is the richest part of the county in terms of water abundance. The largest seasonal lake of the province (with an area of 130 square kilometers) known as Pyramid Lake is located here.

There are a total of 37 large and small springs in this section, the largest of which is called Sarcheshmeh, with a flow rate of 250 liters per second. Thirty-six aqueducts with a total length of 80 km irrigate agricultural fields and orchards. Over 200 agricultural wells and dozens of dolab wells have been identified in this sector.

The 200-meter waterfalls of Rahmatabad, 20 kilometers north of Joyom, are the only waterfalls in this county.[4]
