Mona is a city in Juab County, Utah, United States. It is part of the ProvoOrem, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 850 at the 2000 census. At the time this was sufficient under Utah state law for Mona to become a city, which it did in 2001.

It is about halfway between Santaquin and Nephi, about 1.6 km (1 mi) west of Interstate 15.

Mona, one of the early settlements along the Old Mormon Road, was originally settled in 1852. First named Clover Creek for patches of wild clover that grew along the creek in the area. It was later renamed Willow Creek for its water source, then Starr for a local settler, before receiving its present name.

Burl Ives was once jailed in Mona for singing "Foggy Foggy Dew", because it was considered bawdy by the authorities.

Mona is located at 39°48′55″N 111°51′23″W / 39.81528°N 111.85639°W / 39.81528; -111.85639 (39.815392, -111.856354).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.7 km2), of which, 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2) of it (2.82%) is water.

Mona is at the foot of Mount Nebo, the southernmost and highest mountain in the Wasatch Range.
