Salair Ridge (pronounced sah-lah-EER; Russian: Салаирский кряж) is an eroded plateau-type highland in the Southwestern Siberia, Russia, particularly in Altai Krai, Kemerovo and Novosibirsk Oblast. It is a natural continuation of Altai Mountains and separates the Kuznetsk Depression from the Ob River Plain to the southwest. Its main ridge is nearly parallel to that of Kuznetsk Alatau. The ridge is some 300 kilometres in length and 15-40 kilometres wide.

The mountains are rich in complex ores. The highest peak is Kivda (Russian: Кивда), at 621 meters.

Major rivers include the Berd' (Russian: Бердь, see the city of Berdsk), Suenga River (Russian: Суенга) and Chumysh River.
