The name Juan was used to name two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean and three tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific Ocean.

In the Atlantic:

  • Hurricane Juan (1985) – a Category 1 hurricane that struck the Gulf Coast of the United States, causing 12 deaths and $3.2 billion (US$2005) in damage.
  • Hurricane Juan (2003) – a Category 2 hurricane that affected the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, causing 8 deaths and $200 million in damage.

The name was retired from future use in the Atlantic Ocean after 2003, and was replaced with Joaquin in the 2009 season.

  • Tropical Depression 13W (2002) (Juan) – moved over the central Philippines, killing 14 people.
