Salem ( ) is a city and a corporation in Salem district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, located in the north central part of the southernmost state of India, about 340 km (211.3 mi) southwest of state capital, Chennai. It is the fifth Municipal Corporation and Urban agglomeration in Tamil Nadu next to Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchirappalli.

Salem is a part of the Kongu Nadu(Coimbatore), an ancient division of Tamilakam comprising the western part of Tamil Nadu. Almost completely surrounded by hills, Salem is at the base of the renowned tourist destination the Yercaud hills, which offer breathtaking views both along the ride up the hill and from the peak. There are also remote sites of beauty such as Kiliyur falls and Kavery peak. Yercaud is at an altitude of 1600 m above sea level.

The town is surrounded by hills on all sides: the Nagaramalai to the north, the Jarugumalai to the south, the Kanjamalai to the west, and the Godumalai to the east. It is divided by the river Thirumanimuthar in the main division. The fort area is the oldest part of the town.
