Joinville ({{IPA|fr|ʒwɛ̃vil|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Mathieu Kappler-Joinville.wav}}) is a commune in the Haute-Marne department in north-eastern France.
Originally spelled Jonivilla or Junivilla in Latin, in the Middle Ages it was the site of a lordship in the county of Champagne. The medieval château-fort, which gave the House of Guise their title, Prince de Joinville, was demolished during the Revolution of 1789, but the 16th-century Château du Grand Jardin built by Claude de Lorraine, duc de Guise, has been restored.
