Jud is a rural city in LaMoure County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 65 at the 2020 census. Located in Bluebird Township, the town was founded in 1904 as "Fox" and the post office was established as "Gunthorpe." On October 4, 1906, the town and post office were renamed Jud for the county's namesake, Judson LaMoure. Once located on a branch of the Northern Pacific Railroad, Jud today is located along unpaved 61st Street SE, 9 miles (14 km) west of U.S. Route 281 and 25 miles (40 km) south of Interstate 94 in the midst of settled farmland and open plains.
