John William Salt, OGS (30 October 1941 – 7 February 2017) was a British Anglican bishop.

Having previously studied at Kelham (1961), he was ordained deacon in 1966 and priest in 1967 in the Diocese of Carlisle where he served his first curacy.

Later, as Bishop of St Helena, he returned to preach in 2007 at a Choral Evensong marking the 40th anniversary of the new church.

On 31 October there was a ceremonial re-enactment of the landing of St Helena's first bishop, Piers Claughton.

Salt began the celebration by being rowed ashore, as Bishop Claughton would have been 150 years previously.
