The Jeof Candiana (named for the town of its origin) is an Italian homebuilt aircraft that was designed and produced by Jeof srl of Candiana, introduced in the mid-1990s. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

The Candiana features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cabin accessed via doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. Tricycle landing gear is optional. It has a spaceframe fuselage and sheet dural wings. The engine is derived from a Fiat car engine.

The aircraft is made from a combination of welded steel tubing and aluminum. The aircraft was designed as a testbed for the Sax 86 engine, a derivative of the Fiat Punto 1.3 liter four-cylinder four-stroke automotive powerplant with dual electronic ignition and a 2.54 : 1 reduction drive (gears). It has a motorcycle carburetor Dell’Orto PHF 32. It gives 92 HP at 6000 rpm max continuous.
