Karl Robert Saluri (born August 6, 1993 in Kuimetsa, Rapla County) is a former Estonian decathlete.

In April 2016 Saluri earned a personal record score of 8108, enough to pass the qualifying mark for the 2016 Olympics of 8100. This result beat his previous personal record by 637 points. Additionally, this result made him the European leader up to that point of the year and earned him honors as the European Athlete of the Month for April, 2016.
