Salvador González (died 1067) was a Castilian nobleman active in the regions of La Bureba and Burgos in the middle third of the eleventh century. His origins are obscure, and he thus stands at the head of his lineage, the Salvadórez. He remained loyal to the ruler of Castile throughout his career, even when it meant a loss of position after the Bureba was acquired by neighbouring Pamplona.

Justo Pérez de Urbel writes that the lineage probably descends from Fernán's second wife, Urraca Garcés. There is some onomastic evidence to support Pérez de Urbel's position. A document dated to 994 is subscribed by one Salvador Pérez, son of Pedro Fernández, a possible son of Fernán González and Urraca Garcés. The Salvadórez are also thought to be related to the
