Salmah binti Ismail (Jawi: سلمه بنت إسماعيل; ‎ 22 January 1935 – 25 April 1983), better known by her stage name Saloma, was a Singaporean-Malaysian singer, film actress, trendsetter and a fashion icon who became well known in the late 1950s.

Saloma was well known for her singing ability, which was depicted as "lemak merdu", (a full, rather thick but sweet voice). She was signed with EMI music records and since then released numerous EP's such as Dendang Saloma (1957), Bunga Negara (1963) and Aslirama (1972). Some of her most popular songs throughout her career included ‘Selamat Pengantin Baru’ and ‘Bila Larut Malam’.
