Salter Oval (known prior to 1945 as the West End Recreation Reserve) is a cricket ground in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. The first recorded match on the ground came in 1948 when Queensland Country Women played England Women. It held its only first-class match in 1981 when Queensland played the touring New Zealanders. Two List A matches have been played there. The first came in 1991 when Queensland played the touring West Indians, while the second saw Queensland play the touring Zimbabweans in 1995.

In February 2016, Brisbane Broncos played North Queensland Cowboys in a National Rugby League trial fixture, with the attendance figure reported at 8,122.
