Argenis Salazar (born November 4, 1961 in Anaco, Venezuela) is a former shortstop in Major League Baseball who played for the Montreal Expos (1983-84), Kansas City Royals (1986-87) and Chicago Cubs (1988). He batted and threw right-handed.

Salazar was signed by Montreal as an amateur free agent in 1980. He made his debut in the 1983 season.

Following the long string of shortstops coming from Venezuela, Salazar showed good range, soft hands, a real quick release and a strong and accurate arm. Nevertheless, he struggled with the bat, most of time in the Mendoza Line.

In a five-year career, Salazar was a .217 hitter, with two home runs and 59 RBI in 383 games.
