Java Head is a 1923 American silent romantic drama film directed by George Melford and starring Leatrice Joy, Jacqueline Logan, Frederick Strong, Alan Roscoe, and Betty Bronson in a bit part. It is based on a popular novel of the same name by Joseph Hergesheimer., which in turn is named after the geographical feature. It is not known whether the film currently survives, which suggests that it is a lost film.
Java Head was remade in a 1934 British sound film starring Anna May Wong, and released by Associated Talking Pictures.
Exterior scenes were shot on location in Salem, Massachusetts where the film is also set.
