{{Middle-earth portal}}'''Salmar''' is a fictional character in  [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s [[Middle-earth]] [[legendarium]]. He appears in ''[[The Silmarillion]]''.

In the index of ''The Silmarillion'' Salmar is described as a [[Maia (Middle-earth)|Maia]], an [[angel]]ic being. It is unknown whether that entry was written by Tolkien or his son [[Christopher Tolkien|Christopher]]. While there is no other text describing Salmar as one of the Maiar his status as a spirit who accompanied the [[Vala (Middle-earth)|Vala]] [[Ulmo]] to [[Valinor]], but was not listed among the Valar would make that the logical conclusion.

In earlier conceptions of the legendarium (see: ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'') Salmar is often called by the title '''Noldorin''', and sometimes '''Lirillo''', and was envisioned as a Vala in the service of [[Aulë]].
