Salia was fictional alien character in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "The Dauphin". She was an allasomorph and the predetermined ruler of the planet Daled IV.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

She was born in 2349 on Daled IV. Her father were of one of the warring factions of the planet and her mother were of the other. Hoping that Salia, not being from either side, would one day allow her to neutrally govern and unify the planet, they contacted the Federation, and asked for a Starfleet ship to transport her to Klavdia III, where she would train for 16 years before her return. Her parents died shortly there after. In 2365 her time had come to commence her leadership and she was transported to Daled IV by the USS Enterprise-D along with her caretaker and guardian Anya. During the transport, Salia became romantically involved with Wesley Crusher, much to the dismay of Anya, an allasomorph as well. When Anya found them together she transformed into a beast and threatened Wesley, whereupon Salia transformed into a similar beast to protect him. When they arrived at Daled IV, Salia was slightly reluctant to govern her people, but decided to beam down and take her place in the government.

Salia's humanoid form was played by Jaime Hubbard.
