Uromyces junci es un hongo roya que parasita los juncos (especies de Juncus), causando lesiones pustulares de color marrón anaranjado en tallos y hojas de sus plantas hospedadoras en humedales y hábitats ribereños. Este biotrofo obligado depende enteramente del tejido hospedador vivo para completar su ciclo de vida. Se distribuye por regiones templadas de Europa y más allá, donde quiera que se encuentren hospedadores Juncus adecuados en entornos húmedos.
