The Islamic Salafi Alliance (Arabic: التجمع الإسلامي السلفي) is a Salafi political grouping in Kuwait headed by Khaled Sultan bin Essa. It’s founded in 1981. Of the fifty elected members of Kuwait National Assembly three seats belong to the Islamic Salafi Alliance since the 2013 elections.

In the February 2012 general elections the Islamic Salafi Alliance managed to capture four seats, and another six were taken by people with similar ideas.[1]
