Salmiya () is an area in Hawalli Governorate in Kuwait.
Salmiya is administratively divided into 12 blocks. The blocks located closer to the interior of the district tend to be mostly residential, while those located beside the Persian Gulf coastline have a great deal of commercial and up-scale residential real estate. The interior residential areas boast a huge population of foreigners consisting mainly of those from the Indian sub-continent and other Arabs who are not native to the Persian Gulf area. Approximately, two-thirds of the district's population reside in blocks 8 to 12. These blocks are highly desirable among the residents due to its urban amenities and the well-designed infrastructure, including the city's public works and built environment, enhances the overall quality of life for its residents.
