Juigné-sur-Loire (French pronunciation: [ʒɥiɲe syʁ lwaʁ] (listen), literally Juigné on Loire) is a former commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France. On 15 December 2016 it was merged into the new commune Les Garennes sur Loire.^[2]

On 18 July 1969 Juigné-sur-Loire was the site of a tragic accident that killed 19 young teenagers from nearby Angers. The children, part of a group of sixty 13- and 14-year-olds on an outing from a recreational center, had been wading in the Loire river when the gravel riverbed beneath them gave way and swept them downstream into the deeper waters.^[3]
