Alfredo Salazar Southwell (1913 – 14 September 1937) was a Peruvian aviator, celebrated as a national hero.
Salazar was born in 1913 (exact date uncertain) to an established family in Lima.
He finished his military studies in 1935, assuming the rank of sub-ensign, and was assigned the post of flight instructor for cadets.
On the morning of 14 September 1937, during a rehearsal for an airshow celebrating the inauguration of a monument to Jorge Chávez, the airplane he was piloting started emitting smoke.
On seeing this, Salazar ordered his copilot, a mechanical technician surnamed Fajardo, to parachute to safety.
