Broadway Jones is a lost 1917 silent film comedy directed by Joseph Kaufman and starring George M. Cohan, in his film debut, in a picture based on his 1912 play, Broadway Jones.

Though no known copies survive of the film, a 1931 Paramount promotional film, The House That Shadows Built, contains a clip of Cohan which may be from either Broadway Jones or one of two other lost Cohan silent films from around the same time.
