Euanthe is a small moon that orbits Jupiter, one of many celestial bodies in the giant planet's extensive system. Like other Jovian moons, it contributes to our understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve, though it remains relatively understudied compared to Jupiter's larger and more prominent moons.

Euanthe /juːˈænθi/, also known as Jupiter XXXIII, is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2001, and given the temporary designation S/2001 J 7.
Euanthe is about 3 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 20,465 Mm in 602.81 days, at an inclination of 143° to the ecliptic (142° to Jupiter's equator) with an eccentricity of 0.2001.
