Salp atau salpa (jamak: salpae[2]) adalah sejenis tunikata planktonik berbentuk tong yang masuk kedalam famili Salpidae. Mereka bergerak dengan cara mengkontraksikan tubuhnya. Gerakan tersebut memompa air kedalam tubuh mirip jeli-nya, dan menjadi contoh penggunaan propulsi jet di seluruh kerajaan hewan.[3] Salp menyaring air yang diponpa melalui saringan makannya. Mereka memakan fitoplankton.
