Jaw Jaw, also Yaw Yaw,[2] is a village of Saamaka Maroons[3] in the Boven Suriname resort of the Sipaliwini District of Suriname.

[6] The village was built in 1964[5] on a site which had been previously used for coconut production.

[8] Originally the village was home to 700 people,[2] but in 1976, the population was estimated at several hundred,[9] because many inhabitants had left for the city.

[10] The village has a school, a clinic, and a Roman Catholic church.

[3] There is an ecotourism resort on Isadou, an island in the Suriname River across from the village.
