Mikhail Alexandrovich Salye (21 August 1899 – 17 August 1961) was a Soviet Arabist scholar and translator. Salye was the first to translate One Thousand and One Nights into Russian directly from the Arabic source. Additionally, he translated into Russian seven tales not contained in the edition of One Thousand and One Nights (from the manuscript in the National Library of Russia). Salye is buried at the Botkinskoye Cemetery in Tashkent.
