Jorge Alejandro Salum del Palacio (born 1 September 1962) is a Mexican politician. Originally affiliated with the National Action Party (PAN), he broke with them in 2024 and joined the Citizens' Movement (MC).

In 2006–2009 he served as a federal deputy in the 50th Congress, representing Durango's 4th district for the National Action Party (PAN). ^[1] He contended again for Durango's 4th in the 2018 general election and, although he was originally declared the winner, his opponent – Hilda Patricia Ortega Nájera of Morena – successfully challenged the result before the electoral court and was awarded the seat. ^{[2] [3]}

He later served as the municipal president of his birthplace, ^[4] Victoria de Durango, in 2019–2022. ^[5]

Salum left the PAN in February 2024 and joined the Citizens' Movement (MC). ^[6] He sought election as one of Durango's senators in the 2024 Senate election, occupying the first place on the MC's two-name formula; ^[7] the party placed third in the state with 6.34% of the vote and, consequently, Salum's Senate bid was unsuccessful. ^[8]
