Ganga Jamuni (Gaṅgā Jamunī) is a village in Kuraoli block of Mainpuri district, Uttar Pradesh. It is located on a further small tributary of the Kali Nadi river called the Ganga Jamuni Nala, which dried up after the construction of a national highway near the village. There is also an archaeological site nearby. As of 2011, Ganga Jamuni had a population of 319, in 50 households.
Ganga Jamuni is located about 1.5 km from the Kali Nadi river, on the bank of a smaller tributary stream called the Ganga Jamuni Nala. The Ganga Jamuni Nala has now dried up due to the construction of the Grand Trunk Road national highway to the north of the village. There is an archaeological site associated with the Ochre Coloured Pottery culture north of the highway, across from the village. The ancient inhabitants of the site could have used the Kali Nadi floodplain, or the area along the Ganga Jamuni Nala, for agriculture.[2]: 253, 278
