The Bahr Salamat is a seasonally intermittent river in Chad. It flows southwards, and is a tributary of the Chari River.

When the Bahr Salama river is flowing, it runs through the community of Am Timan and also the Bahr Salamat Faunal Reserve of Chad. The Chari River is the main source of water of Lake Chad. [2]
