Charlotte Young Salisbury (March 12, 1914 – April 25, 2012) was an American travel writer who wrote seven books about her experiences in Asia.

In his book A Journey for Our Times (1983), Harrison Salisbury recalled their first meeting:No one I had met before had spoken with such cool and perfect honesty, the words tart and fresh, in a light but unmistakable Boston accent, the opinions warm, no qualifications...I had never before found a woman who would stand up to the devil (or Henry Kissinger) and tell the truth to his face.

[3]Charlotte Salisbury began accompanying her husband on his trips to Asia for the Times.

Her first book, Asian Diary (1967), records their lengthy 1966 journey in a number of countries and areas around China: Hong Kong, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, India, Sikkim, Mongolia, Siberia, and Japan.

Her final book, Long March Diary: China Epic (1986), recounts the grueling 7,000-mile journey taken by her and her husband via donkey, jeep, and truck retracing the route of The Long March.
