Jacob Benjamin Salutsky (August 1, 1882 – January 29, 1968), also known by the alias as J.B.S. Hardman, was a Russian political activist, radical journalist and trade union functionary. Hardman was a proponent of radicalism as a Marxist thinker and a leader of the Jewish Socialist Federation of the Socialist Party of America (SPA). A brief stint in the American Communist movement ended in his expulsion in 1923.

For more than two decades thereafter, Hardman was Education Director of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA).
