Jubbada Dhexe (Middle Jubba ; Arabic جوبا الوسطى, DMG Ǧūbbā al-Wusṭā ) is a region ( gobolka ) in southern Somalia . Their capital is Buaale .

The region lies on the Indian Ocean and is named after the Jubba River, which flows through it. The largest city is Jilib , where the Shabeelle River joins the Jubba in rainy years. Jubbada Dhexe consists of the three districts of Buaale, Jilib and Sakow.

Unlike much of Somalia, Jubbada Dhexe is fertile because of its location in the Jubba Valley. Nevertheless, the civil war in Somalia led to food shortages and hunger here too. In 2006 there were floods on the Jubba.

The inhabitants of Middle Juba include various Somali - Clans on. The Bantu ethnic minority in Somalia is represented in the Gosha area on the Jubba.

In 2015, Jubbada Dhexe was the region with the lowest human development index in the world.
