Salta est une ville d'Argentine, capitale de la province de Salta. Elle est située au pied oriental de la Cordillère des Andes, dans la fertile vallée de Lerma, à 1 187 m d'altitude. Dans les dernières décennies, l'aire urbaine s'est étendue et a atteint des localités voisines, formant ce qu'on appelle le Grand Salta. Avec une population de 535 303 habitants en 2010, c'est la deuxième plus importante cité du nord du pays après San Miguel de Tucumán.
