Provided are a solder alloy, a solder paste, a solder ball, a solder preform, and a solder joint, which have a melting temperature within a predetermined range, and high tensile strength and shear strength, suppress generation of voids, and have excellent mountability due to their thin oxide films. The solder alloy has an alloy composition consisting of, by mass %, Ag: 2.5 to 3.7%, Cu: 0.25 to 0.95%, Bi: 3.0 to 3.9%, and In: 0.5 to 2.3%, with the balance being Sn, and the alloy composition satisfies the following relations (1) and (2): 8.1≤Ag+2Cu+Bi+In ≤11.5 (1), and 1.00≤(Bi+In)/Ag≤1.66 (2). Ag, Cu, Bi and In in the relations (1) and (2) each represent the contents (mass %) in the alloy composition.
