JITONA a.s. is a Czech woodworking company that manufactures and exports furniture and especially bedrooms. It is based in Soběslav.

The history of Jitona itself dates back to 1951, when the state company Jihočeská vávárny bábútku was created by the merger of small furniture manufacturers in South Bohemia. Considering that in 2007 the Slovak JITONA a.s. merged with Rousínov's Tusculum a.s., today's company continues the tradition of the United Arts and Crafts Company Brno, founded in 1920 and transformed from UP závodí Rousínov to Tusculum a.s. in 1992.

In two production plants (Klatovy, Třebíč) JITONA a.s. joined the team with IKEA and have been working together but In 2019, the collaboration between Jitona and IKEA ended.
