The Pakistan Muslim League (J) (Urdu: پاکستان مسلم لیگ ج) is a political party in Pakistan. It is one of the factions of the original Pakistan Muslim League, named "J" after Junejo. It was created in 1986 when Muhammad Khan Junejo was the Prime Minister of Pakistan under President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. In September 1988, the party formed an alliance called Islami Jamhoori Ittehad with Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi's National Peoples Party, and Qazi Hussain Ahmed's Jamaat-e-Islami against Pakistan Peoples Party for the 1988 general elections. During that time Nawaz Sharif became the most prominent politician outside PPP, and eventually became the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1990. After Junejo died in 1993, Nawaz Sharif parted with the IJI, and created his own faction called the PML (N), which became a major political party far more influential than the original PML (J).

At the legislative elections held on October 20, 2002, the party won 0.7% of the popular vote and 2 out of 272 elected members.

Hamid Nasir Chattha is the head of the party.
