Jwala (Dewanagari: ज्वाला; ,IASTJvālā,; arti: "kobaran api") adalah dewi dalam agama Hindu. Wujud fisik Jwala biasanya berupa api abadi.[2] Dalam budaya Hindu, dia umumnya dipuja sebagai istri Dewa Manggala atau Anggaraka.[3][4]

Kuil Jwalamukhi (arti: "seseorang dengan wajah yang bersinar seperti api") di Himachal Pradesh merupakan kuil utama baginya, disebutkan dalam Mahabharata dan sastra Hindu lainnya. Di sana terdapat sebuah gua alami, tempat api terus menyala karena endapan gas alam di bawah tanah merembes keluar dari celah bebatuan, dan menyala oleh sebab yang tidak diketahui. Beberapa aliran Buddhisme juga memiliki simbolisme berupa api suci bercabang tujuh.[5]
