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.,[1] which in turn is named after the geographical feature. It is not known whether the film currently survives,[1] 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.
