Gabriel Arias–Salgado Montalvo (3 March 1904 – 26 July 1962) was a Spanish politician of Falangist ideology, who held positions during the Franco dictatorship.

Known for his views related to Catholic fundamentalism,[1][2] he joined the Falange during the course of the Civil War, embarking on a rapid rise in his political career. During the dictatorship, he played an important role in censorship, holding the positions of Vice-Secretary of Popular Education and, later, Minister of Information and Tourism. Likewise, he was also a solicitor in the Francoist courts and a member of the National Council of the Movement.
