Salem is an unincorporated community in Bastrop County, Texas, United States. It is located two miles northwest of Jeddo, 25 miles south of the town of Bastrop and 50 miles southeast of Austin. The town is one of 17 communities named Salem in the state.^[1]

Originally called St. Philip's Colony, the agricultural community was first populated by slaves freed following the Civil War.^[2] Since it was paired with the white town of Jeddo, it is unclear how many people lived in Salem,^[1] however a two-room, one-teacher schoolhouse for 29 children was constructed in 1881. St. Philip's Church and a number of houses were already in existence when the school was built. The religious denomination of the church is unknown.^[1]

In 1905, the school had 55 students.^[2] It merged with the Jeddo district when the county instituted a school district system in 1907.^[2] The ruins of the old school still exist.^[1] St. Philips Church and several houses have marked Salem on county maps from the 1940s to the 2010s, but no population estimates are available.^[2]
