The Jonica is an Italian breed of domestic goat from the province of Taranto, in Puglia in southern Italy. Its origins are uncertain; it is thought to derive from crossing of local varieties with the Maltese breed. It is one of the eight autochthonous Italian goat breeds for which a genealogical herd-book is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders. In 1998 the total number of the goats was estimated at head. At the end of 2013 the registered population was 232.
