The Countess of Salisbury (French: La Comtesse de Salisbury) is an 1836 historical adventure novel by the French writer Alexandre Dumas.

It was serialised in the newly founded La Presse newspaper between July and September 1836.

[1] Dumas had been writing plays since the 1820s, but this marked his first serialised novel.

[2] Walter Scott was an influence on the author's writings, and he praises him in the preface of the 1839 edition in comparison to Genlis and Cottin.

[3] The novel is inspired by the life of the Countess of Salisbury and her relations with Edward III of England in the fourteenth century.
