Salgale Parish (Latvian: Salgales pagasts; until 2011 - Sidrabene Parish, Sidrabenes pagasts) is an administrative unit of the Republic of Latvia and one of the 512 parishes that constitute today's Latvia. In a broader context, Salgale Parish is an integral part of Jelgava Municipality, which, in turn, is one of the constituent parts of the historical Latvian land of Semigallia (geographically, it is located north of the Daugava and south of the Saule region of Samogitia). Administratively, it is situated within Latvia's Zemgale Planning Region, one of the country's five planning regions.
