Salome: A Tragedy in One Act (1891) is a play by Wilde.

It presents the Biblical tale of the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas whose dancing caused the death of John the Baptist (Mark 6:21-29).

The play explores Salome's two-fold desire to retain her virginity and to destroy male sexuality.

Richard Strauss's opera was based on Wildes version of the Salome story.
