Sálin hans Jóns míns, sometimes abbreviated to Sálin, was an Icelandic rock band established in Reykjavík by Guðmundur Jónsson, Jón Ólafsson and Stefán Hilmarsson, with Rafn Jónsson and Harald Þorsteinsson joining for their inaugural year. The band held its first concert in March 1988, considered the year of establishment. In 1989, Rafn Jónsson and Harald Þorsteinsson were replaced by Friðrik Sturluson and Jens Hansson as permanent members.

The name is based on an Icelandic legend of the same name, Sálin hans Jóns míns, written by Icelandic poet Davíð Stefánsson.
