Jalna is a 1935 RKO Radio Pictures film based on the 1927 novel of the same name by Mazo de la Roche. It stars Kay Johnson, Ian Hunter and C. Aubrey Smith. In the film, a newlywed has to adjust to her husband's odd family.

The critic for The New York Times wrote, "the Whiteoaks are an interesting family—on paper or on the screen—and ... this first photoplay about them manages to do them justice." The reviewer praised "the generally splendid characterizations by an excellent cast".
