Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Refimprove Template:Infobox lake Salhouse Broad, one of the Norfolk Broads, is situated on the River Bure in The Broads in Norfolk, England.

The broad is situated just off the river and attracts little through traffic. It lies south of Hoveton Great Broad and approximately half a mile north of the village of Salhouse. Salhouse Broad is accessible from the landward side and moorings are also permitted to fee-paying boat visitors. It is privately owned and managed in conjunction with the community of Salhouse. The broad covers an area of Template:Convert and is home to many forms of wildlife including the Norfolk hawker dragonfly and the swallowtail butterfly. Black swans have been recorded on this broad. Salhouse Broad is unusual in being the result of the flooding of tenth century sand and gravel diggings, not of peat diggings like most of the broads.<ref>Salhouse Broad</ref>
