Džungľa (literally: "Jungle", Hungarian: Dzsungel) is a borough (city ward) of Košice, Slovakia. The borough is situated in the Košice I district and lies to the northeast of the neighbouring borough of Košice Old Town, at an altitude of roughly 209 metres (686 ft) above sea level.
Džungľa gained its distinctive name in the interwar period and was made an official borough in the early 1990s. It is the smallest of all 22 of Košice's boroughs, and is also one of the least populous overall.
The borough is largely focused on housing (with a few hundred residents), industrial areas and shopping centres.
