Salto Mortale is a 1931 German drama film directed by Ewald André Dupont and starring Anna Sten, Anton Walbrook and Reinhold Bernt. A circus film, it has been described as being "in all but name a sound film remake of Variety" and was a box office success.[1]

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Alfred Junge and Fritz Maurischat. It was made at the Babelelsberg Studios in Berlin. Location filming took place at the Circus Busch in the city. A separate French-language version was also made by Dupont.
