The Legislature of Salta (Template:Lang-es) is the local legislature of the Argentinian province of Salta. It is a bicameral body, comprising the Chamber of Deputies of Salta (60 members), and the Senate of Salta (23 members). It is one of eight bicameral legislatures in the country.[1][2]

It is elected by a general provincial first-past-the-post voting for Senate, mixed voting for the Chamber, and renewed every 2 years by electing a new half of each house. Each representative serves a four-year term. The Provincial Constitution denotes its legislative powers.[3]

The Legislature meets in the provincial capital.[4] The building is of an Italian academic style. Its construction began in 1892 and extended until 1902.
