Salvador Pineda Popoca (born February 12, 1952) is a Mexican actor. He has participated in several telenovelas and Mexican movies, as well as two Hollywood low budget movies.

Salvador Pineda is remembered for, among other things, his work on many Televisa soaps, including 1980s Colorina, alongside Lucía Méndez, and Mi Pequena Soledad, with Verónica Castro. He is also remember for his soap opera "Tu o Nadie" with Lucía Mendez and Andrés García. Pineda, with García, were considered two of the sexiest Latino TV hunks of the 80s, appearing in shirtless pics and posters in magazines sold in all Latin America.

Pineda, especially, had a bodybuilder-like physique and hairy chest. He also had a unique gravelly voice. This combination saw him easily cast as a villain, or, less frequently as a gruff, edgy heroic lead.

Pineda began his internacionalization in 1984, when he worked in Puerto Rico as the star of canal 2's Coralito, with Sully Diaz. He returned to Puerto Rico in 1985, to film another telenovela with canal 2. Also "Mi nombre es Coraje", "El Magnate" among others.

Pineda also made an attempt at a singing career, having released one CD. He was married to Venezuelan actress Mayra Alejandra, but then divorced.
