Salado Springs is the name of five groups of springs at the town of Salado in Bell County, Texas, in the United States.[1] The springs are located 48 miles (77 km) north of Austin or 135 miles (217 km) south of Dallas.

The springs, which are not saline (salado is Spanish for "salty"), were likely named for Salado Creek.
