Juanicó is a small industrial town located 35 km north of Montevideo, within the Canelones Department, Uruguay.

The town is located just east of Route 5, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of the city of Canelones.

The town owes its current denomination to Francisco Juanicó, who, in 1830, finished with cattle raising.

He then built up a winery who enabled him to produce high-quality wine, mainly due to the favorable conditions of the land.

[1] On 19 November 2002, the status of the populated centre was elevated to "Villa" (town) by the Act of Ley Nº 17.587.
