Salouël (French pronunciation: [salwɛl]; Picard: Saloué) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Evidence of Gallo-Roman habitation can be seen from the air, featuring overlapping enclosures and a big farm building or villa.
In the early Middle Ages, vines were cultivated in Picardie, and in this region in particular, as testified at Salouël by the parcel of land known as Les Vignettes.
With Salouël being so close to Amiens, it wasn't just involved in rural activity over the centuries, unlike most of the surrounding communes.
After the Second World War, and in particular since the years 1965–1970, the commune has been transformed by the successive establishment of the campus of a university and a large hospital.
