Salur, Salyr or Salgur (Turkish: Salır, Turkmen: Salyr, Persian: سالور) was an ancient Oghuz Turkic (or Turkoman) tribe and a sub-branch of the Üçok tribal federation.[clarification needed]

The medieval Karamanid principality in Anatolia belonged to the Karaman branch of the Salur.[2] The Salghurids of Fars (Atabegs of Fars), were also a dynasty of Salur origin.[3]

The patriarchs of the modern Turkmen tribe of the Salyr in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran, as well as the Salars of China, claim descent from the original Oghuz Salur.[2][4]
