Christina of Salm
Born c.  1575
Died 31 December 1627(1627-12-31)
Spouse Francis II, Duke of Lorraine
Father Paul, Count zu Salm
Mother Marie Le Veneur

Countess Christina of Salm, (1575–1627), was a duchess consort of Lorraine; married in 1597 to Francis II, Duke of Lorraine.[1]

She was the daughter of Paul, Count zu Salm and head of the House of Salm (c. 1535 – c. 1595) by his wife, Marie Le Veneur,[2] of whom he was a second cousin-once-removed, the couple sharing descent from Philippe L'Huillier, seigneur de Manicamp and de Cailly, governor of the Bastille.

Although the Salms had been semi-sovereign Imperial counts since 1475, neither they nor the Le Veneurs were reckoned among the major magnates of either the Holy Roman Empire or of France in the 16th century. However, when Francis married Christina, he was only the third son of Duke Charles III, destined for the countship of Vaudémont as appanage rather than for the sovereignty of Lorraine. Indeed, to prevent the duchy from leaving the patriline (and to legitimate its usurpation), Francis and Christina's sons would eventually be wed to the two daughters of his elder brother, Duke Henry II of Lorraine.
