Gustavo Alberto Salle Lorier (born March 19, 1958) is a Uruguayan lawyer and politician serving as National Representative since February 2025. Founder and leader of the Sovereign Identity party, he was a presidential candidate in the 2019 and 2024 general elections.

Graduated from the University of the Republic with a law degree, gained notoriety by filing criminal complaints against members of the Broad Front governments and for his activism against the installation of the UPM-Kymmene cellulose production plants in Uruguay. Salle is widely known for his flamboyant personality, aggressive and anti-establishment rhetoric and embrace of conspiracy theories, including the New World Order, that of the so-called "kleptocorporatocracy" or government of the corporations and that of the Judeo-Masonic secret coalition.
