Gotthold Salomon (November 1, 1784, Sandersleben (Anhalt-Dessau) — November 17, 1862, Hamburg ) was a German Jewish rabbi, politician and Bible translator.[1][2]

Following on the work of Moses Mendelssohn, Gotthold Salomon was the first Jew to translate the complete Old Testament into High German, under the title Deutsche Volks- und Schulbibel für Israeliten (1837) ("German People's and School Bible for Israelites").[1] He served as preacher in the Hamburg Temple, and partook in the public dispute around it in 1841.
