Luis Salinas (born 24 June 1957) is an Argentine jazz guitarist who plays electric and nylon string guitars.

His best teachers were the records he played by his favorite musicians, which included Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Oscar Alemán, and Baden Powell.

From 1985 to 1991, he worked with Egle Martin, an Argentinean singer, dancer, and producer and played on her bossa-nova album El Arte Del Encuentro.

In 1993, Swedish pianist Anders Persson invited Salinas to play at the Umeå Jazz Festival, followed by a tour of Sweden.

[3] Salinas has also worked with Adolfo Abalos, Biréli Lagrène, Danilo Pérez, Dave Holland, George Benson, Hermeto Pascoal, María Graña, Mercedes Sosa, Paco de Lucía, Sylvain Luc, and Tomatito.

Judith Schlesinger writing in AllMusic describes the song "Blue Zamba" on his debut album as "a lovely solo track that belongs squarely in the tradition of the great Latin acoustic players, but with a whiff of Joe Pass as well.
