Jog is a Raga in Hindustani classical music. It is one of the more popular ragas appearing often in films. Sometimes, experts assign this raga to be a member of Kafi thaat.

Raga Jog omits the second and the sixth intervals, Ri and Dha, making it pentatonic, or Audav in nature. In ascending, it uses Shuddha Ga, and in descending, it uses Komal Ga. It takes Raga Tilang for its base which itself is derived from Khamaj thaat.

The Arohana is: Sa Ga Ma Pa ni(komal) Sa' The Avarohana is: Sa' ni(komal) Pa Ma Ga(shuddha) Ma ga(komal) Sa
