Jiwani is a town and commercial port that is located along the Gulf of Oman in the Gwadar District of the Balochistan province in Pakistan.

Jiwani is located near the Pakistani border with Iran.

Jiwani has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with hot and humid but dry summers and warm winters.

Most rainfall falls in winter, although there is sometimes a little rain in the monsoon season (July–August) as well.

The town has a total population of 25,000 and is expected to become a major commercial centre in concert with the development of the port of Gwadar located nearly 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the east.

The area around the bay includes an important mangrove forest extending across the international border, and is an important habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, especially the endangered Olive Ridley and Green Turtles.

Plans to grant fishing concessions and offshore drilling rights are potentially a threat to the wildlife of the area.

The population largely depends upon fishing. There are a number of export oriented fish freezing plants located in Jiwani. Jiwani is 34 kilometres (21 mi) from the Iranian border.

Jiwani holds strategic importance in the region, located immediately adjacent to the shipping lanes to and from the Persian Gulf.

This is the main reason that the town hosts a small naval base and an airport with a 1,700-metre (5,500 ft.) runway.
