A jug is a container for liquid, with a handle and an opening for pouring or drinking from.

In American English usage, a jug is a large container with a narrow mouth and handle for liquids.

In British English, and generally in English speaking countries outside North America, usage, a jug is any container with a handle and a mouth or spout for liquid.

A ewer is a water jug; a pitcher is a jug with an extended spout; and a jug designed for the heating of liquid is called a kettle.

Some sport trophies take the form of a jug, for example:

• America's Cup
• Claret Jug
• Little Brown Jug

As a religious symbol, a broken jug represents a loss of innocence.
