Jus-Rol is a British manufacturer of frozen pastry, and related products such as sausage rolls and vol-au-vents. The company is owned by General Mills (UK) and based in Berwick-Upon-Tweed.

The company began in 1954 in Coldstream, Scotland when local baker, Mr Tom Forsythe, started selling "Just Roll" puff pastry to his customers. Jus-Rol used to have more than one factory - the other was based in Amble but was sold in the mid-to-late 1990s.

In 2005, the parent company of Jus-Rol, General Mills, acquired the Northamptonshire frozen pastry and pork pie company Saxby Bros Ltd, in a takeover bid. All frozen pastry production was transferred from the Wellingborough Saxby's site to Berwick Upon Tweed in 2008, resulting the Saxby brand to cease.
