Sallins () is a town in County Kildare, Ireland, situated 3.5 km north of the town centre of Naas, from which it is separated by the M7 motorway. Sallins is the anglicised name of Na Solláin which means "the willows".
In the Central Statistics Office census of 2022, Sallins had a population of 6,269, more than double the 2,922 recorded in the 2002 census. It is the tenth largest settlement in Kildare and the 80th largest in Ireland. Sallins grew as a result of its position on both the Grand Canal and the Dublin to Cork railway line. Historically, the town's major employers were Odlums Flour Mills and a meat factory, both of which have now closed.
