Gaius Sallustius Crispus (1 oktober 86 – tussen 39 en 35 v.Chr.) was een Romeins geschiedschrijver. Zijn belangrijkste werken zijn historische monografieën over de "Oorlog tegen Jugurtha" (Bellum Iugurthinum) en de "Samenzwering van Catilina" (De Coniuratione Catilinae). Antieke bronnen maken melding van zijn politiek engagement aan de zijde van de populares, maar ook van zijn morele falen in zijn persoonlijk en openbaar leven. Sallustius was een belangrijk getuige van de geleidelijke ondergang van de Romeinse Republiek en van haar onmacht tegenover de ambities van krachtige persoonlijkheden als Marius en Sulla, Caesar en Pompeius.
