Potash and Perlmutter is a 1923 American silent film comedy.
An ethnic Jewish comedy based on characters created by Montague Glass for a 1913 Broadway play, this film is notable as the first production of Samuel Goldwyn's independent production company. The film's success would inspire two Goldwyn sequels, In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter (1924) and Partners Again (1926).
