San Juan Bautista also known as El Valle de San Juan or simply San Juan, is a town on Margarita Island in Nueva Esparta State, Venezuela.

Cerro Copey, at elevations ranging from 100 to 910 m (330 to 2,990 ft). Its mountain location gives it a temperate climate uncommon in the otherwise arid Margarita Island. The population was 81,466 inhabitants in 2023.
The town's name comes from its patron saint, John the Baptist (San Juan Bautista), whose feast day on 24 June is the main local celebration. The town centre is built around the Plaza Antonio Díaz, on which stands the parish church of San Juan Bautista, one of the oldest parishes in Venezuela.
San Juan Bautista was historically a centre of livestock breeding for the Caribbean and the Spanish Main, and is the only town in Venezuela where the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is widely cultivated. The valley remains noted for its traditional crafts, including handwoven hats made from date-palm fibre (sombrero de cogollo), gold and silver work combined with Margarita pearls, and the local sweet piñonate.
