Wonewoc is a village along the Baraboo River in Juneau County, Wisconsin, United States.

The name “Wonewoc” is of Indigenous American origin, probably meaning "howling hills".

However, at the time of colonization, the site and subsequent town were known to the native Hoocąk (Winnebago) people as Wonį́wąk,[5] which derives ultimately from an infinitive meaning, "to be wicked, bad.

"[7] Apparently, a settler asked a native resident, "What do you call this place?"

The population of the town was largely settled by Yankee colonists from New England, according to the 1860 census.

Wonewoc is now a quiet, scenic town known for its beauty and close-knit community.
