Salsburgh is a semi-rural former coal mining village in greenbelt farmland within the district of North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The closest major towns to the village are Shotts, southeast, and Airdrie northwest.

Salsburgh is perhaps best known for the floodlit Kirk O' Shotts Church, which sits on a hillock and is fairly visible as visitors enter the village from the east on the B7066 Whitburn to Newhouse road. As well as the busy M8 Motorway which runs adjacent to the B7066 and gives the Church the affectionate title 'The M8 Church'.
