JuK is a free software audio player by KDE, the default player since K Desktop Environment 3.2.{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/software/reviews/2004/02/kde-3-2.ars/3 |title=Deep inside the K Desktop Environment 3.2 |last=Pinto |first=Henrique |date=February 22, 2004 |publisher=Ars Technica |page=3 |access-date=February 18, 2009}} JuK supports collections of MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC audio files.

JuK was started by Scott Wheeler in 2000, and was originally called QTagger; however, it was not until 2002 that the application was moved into KDE CVS, where it has grown into a mature audio application. It was first officially part of KDE in KDE 3.2.{{Cite web|url=http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_1_5to3_2.php|title = KDE 3.1.5 to KDE 3.2.0 Changelog}}
