Salvatore Lo Forte, also sometimes written Loforte, (1804 -1885) was an Italian painter, active mainly in his native Palermo, and painting in a neoclassical style.

In 1816, he attended lessons in the Royal Accademia del Nudo of Palermo, where he studied under Giuseppe Velasco.

Along with Riolo he was employed in the restoration of the Novelli frescoes in the Chapel of the Holy Crucifix in the church of San Filippo Neri in Palermo.

By 1830, he was back in Palermo, where he painted the Blessed Sebastiano Valfré performs the miracle of healing a cripple for the church of Sant'Ignazio all'Olivella.

He painted an altarpiece depicting Saints Benedict and Scholastica for the church of Santa Chiara, Noto.
