Hjärup (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjɛ̌ːrɵp])[2] is, with its more than 4,250 inhabitants, the second largest locality in Staffanstorp Municipality, Scania, Sweden.

The locality has a suburban character with semi-detached houses initially built in the 1960s–1970s on Lundaslätten, the fertile plain south of Lund, initially on land sold off from the farm Hjerup.

On the other side of the railway, adjacent to Hjärup's station, a district called Jakriborg is now growing.

Hjärup consists of about 1,600 households (2005) with public services chiefly limited to preschools, schools, health care center[3] and old people's home, as virtually all inhabitants commute to work in the Greater Malmö metropolitan area.

The distance to Lund is 5 km by bike, bus or car — or 3 minutes by train.
