Whig Lane is an unincorporated community in Salem County, New Jersey. It is located approximately 5 mi (8.0 km) east of Woodstown.
The settlement is named for an altercation which occurred there in 1769 between Tories and Whigs. Around that time—prior to the American Revolution—one part of the settlement was also called "Tory Lane".
Whig Lane had a post office in 1897.
