Osbert Salvin (1835 - 1898) was an English naturalist.

Salvin is best known for co-authoring Biologia Centrali-Americanum (1879-1915) with Frederick DuCane Godman. This was a 52 volume encyclopedia on the natural history of Central America.

The Godman-Salvin Medal, a prestigious award of the British Ornithologists' Union, is named after him and Godman.
