The Salon Cinema was a movie theater in Edinburgh, Scotland, designed in the Moorish Revival architectural style. Now demolished, the building once stood as an example of the ornamental aesthetic that characterized early-to-mid twentieth-century cinema design, when exotic architectural styles were employed to create immersive entertainment environments. Its Moorish-inspired features would have distinguished it among Edinburgh's commercial architecture, reflecting the era's appetite for theatrical grandeur in public leisure spaces.
