RFA Salvestor (A499) was a King Salvor-class salvage vessel of the post war Royal Fleet Auxiliary.

During the Second World War the Salvestor was one of two Royal Navy ships manned by South African Naval personnel (SANF).

In 1945 Salvestor assisted a merchant ship that had encountered problems more than 200 km from Milne Bay, New Guinea.

After the war Salvestor salvaged a number of wrecks from Hong Kong Harbour, including a Japanese tug.
