Antoine Sallaert (1585–1650) was a Flemish Baroque painter.

According to Houbraken his work survived in Brussels, where he lived and died. He was sorry he could not find more data on this artist.[1] According to the RKD he was registered in the Brussels Guild of Saint Luke as a master in 1613 and used the monograms ASall f and AS entwined.[2]

Antony (sic) Sallaert is mentioned in The Crossbow by Ralph Payne-Gallwey where he talks of a painting of the Infanta Isabella after a feat of crossbow target-shooting; the painting is mentioned to be in the museum in Brusssels.
