Salomy Jane, is a 1907 play by Paul Armstrong. It was loosely based on the short story Salomy Jane's Kiss by Bret Harte, but also pulled in characters from other Harte works. It has four acts and five scenes, taking place over sixteen hours in Calaveras County, California around 1855.

The play was produced by Liebler & Company, with staging by Hugh Ford, sets by Gates and Morange, incidental music by Robert Hood Bowers, and electrical effects by the Kliegl Brothers. It starred Eleanor Robson, with H. B. Warner, Holbrook Blinn, and Ada Dwyer. It ran on Broadway from January through May 1907, returned in September 1907 for a month then went on tour.

Paul Armstrong later expanded his drama into a screenplay for a 1914 silent film.
