Saint Salvator of Horta (Salvador d'Horta, Salvatore da Horta) (1520—March 18, 1567) is a Catalan saint. His feast day is celebrated on March 18. He was born in Santa Coloma de Farners, near Girona (Catalonia), and worked as a shepherd and shoemaker.

He then became a Franciscan lay brother at Barcelona and worked as a cook, beggar, and porter at the friary of Horta.

Salvator acquired a reputation as a healer, and his cell became a destination for sick pilgrims.

He died at Cagliari.
