Junnosuke is a Japanese masculine given name, written じゅんのすけ, typically rendered with kanji such as 淳之介, 純之介, 潤之介, 順之介, or 準之介. The first element jun carries meanings like pure, genuine, gentle, enriching, or orderly depending on the character chosen (淳/純/潤/順/準). The medial no is an old genitive marker (乃/之), and suke (介/助) means helper, attendant, or mediator. Together the name conveys ideas such as pure helper, orderly attendant, or one who brings enrichment and aid.

Names ending in -suke were favored among samurai and townsmen in the Edo period and remained popular into Meiji; Junnosuke appears in records from the late 19th century onward and has seen periodic revivals as a retro-chic choice. Notable bearers include Inoue Junnosuke (1869–1932), a Bank of Japan governor, and entertainer Taguchi Junnosuke (b. 1985). Variant romanizations include Jun-nosuke and, less commonly, Jun'nosuke; a related shorter form is Junsuke.
