Janice Zamora Salimbangon is a Filipino politician serving as the representative for the 4th district of Cebu from 2019 to 2025. She is the widow of Benhur Salimbangon who also served as the representative of the said district.
She was already presumed to succeed her husband who was on his third and final term as representative of Cebu's 4th district.[4][5] On October 14, 2018, she filed her certificate of candidacy for the said position where she went against former Bogo mayor Celestino Martinez Jr.[6] She defeated Martinez in the 2019 elections.[7][8]

Among the bills filed by Salimbangon as representative were the renaming of the Bogo-Curva-Medellin-Daanbantayan-Maya Road into Juan Macaraeg Highway,[10] removing Bantayan Island from the wilderness protected zone category,[11] and rationalizing the management of resources on Malapascua Island.[12] She also voted in favor of House Bill No. 6875 which later became the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 saying that she is "totally against terrorism."[13][14]
