Jarogo Waterfall, also known as Jarogo Banda Waterfall, is a waterfall located in Matta Tehsil in Swat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is one of the well-known waterfalls in Swat Valley. It is situated at a distance of around 55 kilometres (34 mi) from Mingora city. The waterfall can be accessed from Matta via the 30 kilometres (19 mi) long route through Fazal Banda Road.

It is sometimes referred to as the duplicate of Gabin Jabba's waterfall due to similarities between the two. Lying in the Hindu Kush mountain range, the waterfall is surrounded by pine trees and thick forests. In 2022, when the federal government of Pakistan allotted 19 motels of Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tourism Authority in order to promote tourism in the province, Jarogo Waterfall, being part of Integrated Tourism Zones (ITZ), was included in one of the three projects. As a result, camping pods were then built nearby the waterfall.
