Albert Salsas ((Palau-de-Cerdagne, February 26, 1864 - June 4, 1940) was a historian from Cerdanya.

Biography
Albert Salsas descended from a very old Cerdanian family. He was a tax collector in Thuir from 1891-1900, and in Saint-Girons, Ariège in 1909, and had very broad legal knowledge that paralleled his knowledge of local history. In his time he was one of the most important historians in Roussillon, and was connected to scholars such as Jean-Auguste Brutails. He published articles in various journals from Northern Catalonia, some of which were published separately in the form of books or small works. In 1891 he published Prats-de-Mollo en Vallespir, considered "one of the best local monographs that has been written on the towns of Roussillon", and in 1899 he published La Cerdagne espagnole, which included surveys of the routes to Pyrenean mountain peaks, and the paths from town to town. His unedited works have been donated to the Archives départementales des Pyrénées-Orientales in Perpignan, where they take up some 6.5 linear meters.

He was a member of the Pyrenean Association (Associació Pirenaica) and of the French Alpine Club (Club Alpí Francès). He was awarded the silver medal of the French Society of Archeology for the Conservation of Historic Monuments (Société française d'archéologie pour la conservation des monuments historiques) and his hometown dedicated a street to him.
