Reinhold Saulmann (17 May 1895 – 6 June 1936) was an Estonian track and field sprinter.[2]

Saulmann was a five-time Estonian champion in track and field events including the sprints and the 400 metres hurdles. He also held the Estonian records in the 150 m, 300 m, 400 m and 400 m hurdles.[3]

At the 1920 Summer Olympics he was entered in the 100 m, 200 m and 400 m events. He did not start the 100 m and competed in only the first rounds of the longer sprints, although his estimated time of 51.6 in the 400 m heat was a national record.[1] He also represented Estonia in bandy nine times in 1916–1918. Following his retirement from active competition he entered sports administration, serving as a club treasurer and a representative to the Estonian Olympic Committee. He died aged 41 in his native Tallinn in 1936 and was buried at Rahumäe Cemetery.[3][4]
