Salmon Street Springs, or Salmon Street Fountain, is an outdoor water fountain at the intersection of Naito Parkway at Southwest Salmon in Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was designed by Robert Perron Landscape Architects and Planners and dedicated in 1988. The fountain's three water displays, which are regulated by a computer, are called "bollards", "misters", and "wedding cake".

According to Portland Parks & Recreation, the fountain can recycle up to {{convert|4,924|USgal|L}} of water per minute through as many as 137 of its 185 jets.{{cite web|title=Fountains in Parks: SW Portland|url=http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/article/117201|publisher=Portland Parks & Recreation|access-date=June 28, 2015|archive-date=September 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925043108/http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/article/117201|url-status=live}} Salmon Street Springs is considered "interactive" and open from 6:00am to 10:00pm during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months.{{cite web|title=Fountains in Parks|url=http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/42348|publisher=Portland Parks & Recreation|access-date=June 28, 2015|archive-date=December 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225121048/http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/42348|url-status=live}}
