Salmon is an unincorporated community in Anderson County, Texas, United States.

Salmon was founded after the nearby town of Elkhart grew out of its incorporated area, taking the name Bryon Switch.

In 1914, the community comprised three general stores, a cotton gin, and a sawmill.

The post office remained open until the mid-1950s so the residents of the Salmon community must receive mail through the postmaster in Elkhart.

To help preserve the history of the town, a replica post office and general store was built in 2002 by a descendant of Meredith D. Salmon, the community's first postmaster.
