Horacio Adolfo Salgán (June 15, 1916 – August 19, 2016) was an Argentine tango musician.

At age 18 he joined the cast of Radio Belgrano as a soloist and back-up musician.

1960 saw the formation of the Quinteto Real, with Salgán on piano, Enrique Mario Francini on violin and Pedro Laurenz on bandoneón.

The goal of the group was to create instrumental tangos designed for listening rather than dancing.

In 1998 he appeared as himself in the Oscar-nominated Best Foreign Language Film Tango, no me dejes nunca as part of El Nuevo Quinteto Real, an incarnation of the original group.
