Jannathul Uloom Arabic College (JUAC) is a religious educational institute affiliated with the Sunni Muslim community in Palakkad, Kerala, India. Founded in 1967 by Shaikhuna E. K. Hasan Musliyar, it was the second Islamic Arabic college in Kerala established by Sunni Muslims, following Jami'a Nooriyya Arabic College in Pattikkad, and the first of its kind in Palakkad district.

The curriculum includes Islamic subjects such as Quran, Tajweed, Hadith, Usul al-Hadith, Fiqh, Usul al-Fiqh, Aqidah, Tasawwuf, Nahw, Sarf, Mantiq, Balagha, and comparative religion. It also incorporates general subjects like mathematics, social sciences, history, physics, chemistry, and biology. Since 1999, PSC-certified computer courses have also been included. All students are required to enroll in an accredited degree programme in arts or commerce from a recognized university alongside their religious studies.
Students who complete the full eight-year course receive the Moulavi Fadhil ULOOMI Certificate and become eligible for admission to the Faizy Degree at Jami'a Nooriyya Arabic College.
