Salvador Novoa (born in Mexico City, Mexico, on October 30, 1937; died on December 7, 2021) was a Mexican dramatic tenor. He was especially known for the operas of Alberto Ginastera.

Novoa made his operatic debut with the Instituto Nacional de Las Bellas Artes in Mexico City, in 1960, as B.F. Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. With that company, he also appeared in Aida, Carmen, Il trovatore, and Pagliacci. Later, in 1979, he sang the title role of Otello at that theatre. His first great success occurred in 1967, when he created the role of Pier Francesco Orsini in Ginastera's Bomarzo, for the Opera Society of Washington.
