Sant Joan d'Alacant (Valencian: [ˈsaɲ dʒuˈan dalaˈkant]; Spanish: San Juan de Alicante [saŋ xwan de aliˈkante]), or simply Sant Joan (or San Juan), is a municipality belonging to Alicante metropolitan area, in the southeast of Valencian Community, Spain.

It comprises two zones: the town of Sant Joan and Benimagrell, which is now joined through its urban expansion.
