"Salome" is a tragedy by Oscar Wilde, written in French in 1891 and first published in 1893. The play tells the biblical story of Salome, the stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the Dance of the Seven Veils. Wilde's adaptation takes this biblical tale and imbues it with a more complex exploration of themes such as desire, revenge, and the intersections of power and sexual politics.

The play was originally written in French, Wilde's second language, during a period of his life spent in Paris, and later translated into English by Wilde and others. The French version, "Salomé," was initially refused a license for performance in England by the Lord Chamberlain's Office due to an existing law prohibiting the depiction of biblical characters on stage. It premiered in Paris in 1896, in a production that was not well received. However, the play gained more recognition and critical acclaim over time, particularly after Richard Strauss's operatic adaptation, "Salome," debuted in 1905.

"Salome" is notable for its rich, symbolic language and lush, decadent imagery, which has inspired a wide range of artistic interpretations in the fields of theatre, opera, film, and visual arts. The character of Salome, in particular, has become an icon in popular culture, often seen as a symbol of dangerous female seductiveness.
