Saltram House is a grade I listed George II era mansion house located in the parish of Plympton, near Plymouth in Devon, England.

Saltram is one of Britain's best preserved examples of an early Georgian house and retains much of its original decor, plasterwork and furnishings. It contains the Parker family's large collection of paintings, including several by Sir Joshua Reynolds , born and educated at Plympton and a friend of the Parker family. The present building was commenced by John Parker of nearby Boringdon Hall, Plympton, and of Court House North Molton, both in Devon, together with his wife Catherine Poulett , a daughter of John Poulett, 1st Earl Poulett. It was completed by his son John Parker, 1st Baron Boringdon , whose son was John Parker, 1st Earl of Morley . The Parker family had risen to prominence in the mid-16th century as the bailiff of the manor of North Molton, Devon, under Baron Zouche of Haryngworth.In 1957 Saltram House was donated by the Parker family to the National Trust in lieu of death duties, and is open to the public.
