The Salzburg Global Seminar is an American non-profit organization that holds seminars on economics, politics, and other issues for future political, economic, and business leaders from around the world. Its purpose is to "challenge current and future leaders to develop creative ideas for solving global problems." These seminars are held at the Schloss Leopoldskron, a rococo palace in Salzburg, Austria.

The organization was founded in 1947 by three Harvard University graduates as a venue for bringing together European leaders to heal the rifts created by World War II.
