Johan & Margaretha or sometimes just Margaretha is a resort in Suriname, located in the Commewijne District. Its population at the 2012 census was 756. It is located along a peninsula northeast of Paramaribo. It is named after the coffee plantation Johan & Margaretha which was founded in 1745 by Johan Knöffel. It is safe to assume that his wife was called Margaretha.

The resort has a clinic and a school. The nature reserve of Braamspunt is located in the Johan & Margaretha resort. The resort of Margaretha can only be reached by boat.
