Saleh Manaf (born 18 September 1950) is an Indonesian politician and bureaucrat. He began his career as a civil servant at the National Land Agency and held various positions in North Aceh, North Sumatra, and Bekasi. In 2003, he was unexpectedly elected as the regent of Bekasi, defeating the incumbent and other candidates. His tenure was marked by environmental issues, including illegal dumping and flood management. However, his term was cut short in 2006 due to allegations of election irregularities and subsequent legal battles, leading to his dismissal.

After his dismissal, Saleh Manaf ran unsuccessfully for vice governor of Aceh in 2006 and for regent of Bekasi in 2007. He also made several attempts to secure a seat in the House of Representatives from West Java VII, representing different political parties in the 2009, 2014, 2019, and 2024 legislative elections, but was unsuccessful each time. Saleh's son, Almaida Rosa Putra, is currently a member of the West Java Regional Representative Council.
