Janos is a municipality in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. It is located in the extreme northwest of Chihuahua, on the border with the state of Sonora and the U.S. states of Arizona & New Mexico. As of 2010, the municipality had a total population of 10,953.[1] The municipal seat is the town of Janos, Chihuahua, which shares its name with the municipality.

The El Berrendo/Antelope Wells border crossing is located in the municipality.

As of 2010, the town of Janos had a population of 2,738.[1] Other than the town of Janos, the municipality had 315 localities, the largest of which (with 2010 populations in parentheses) was: Monte Verde (Altamira) (1,087), classified as rural.[1]

The name "Janos" was given by the Janos people, the indigenous inhabitants of the area upon the arrival of the Spaniards.[2] The Janos were probably a sub-tribe or closely related to the Suma people.
