Salud Algabre (born 1896 – 2 May 1979) also known as Henerala Salud, was a Filipina revolutionary who fought for the country's independence from American occupation and for peasant rights, such as the equal distribution of land back to them. She was a leader of the Sakdal movement.[2]

Algabre was born in 1896 to an upper-class family in Laguna.[3] Her father was Maximo Algabre, a landowner from Cabuyao, and her mother was Justina Tirones, a seamstress. Only six survived out of her nine siblings.[1]
