The Salat (French pronunciation: [salat]; Occitan: Salat) is a river in southern France, a right tributary of the Garonne. It is 74.1 km (46.0 mi) long. It rises in nine points above the hamlet Salau in the municipality Couflens, on the slopes of Mont Rouch, central Pyrenees. The former Gascon province of Couserans is based on its valley.
