Junias, or Junia, is a name Paul greets alongside Andronicus in Romans 16:7, calling the pair his relatives and fellow prisoners who were 'outstanding among the apostles.' Whether the Greek name is the masculine Junias or the far more common feminine Junia has been debated, and most modern scholars now favor Junia, which would make her a woman recognized in the earliest church in a role connected to the apostles.
