Salabega (Odia: ସାଲବେଗ, romanized: Sālabega, 1607/1608 –?) was an Odia religious poet of India in the early 17th century who wrote Jagannatha bhajanas. He was Muslim by birth but his devotion for the Hindu God made Lord Jagannath stop his Ratha Jātrā (Rath Yatra) in Odisha for him to get darshan. His famous Bhajan 'Ahe Nila Saila' lives to this day.
