Saldutiškis is a small town in northeastern Lithuania. According to the census of 2001, it had 389 residents.

The manor of the Jałowiecki (Jaloveckis) family is known from the end of the 18th century. Two of its most famous members were Bolesław Jałowiecki (Boleslovas Jaloveckis; died in 1917) and his son Mieczysław (1876–1967). Bolesław established a park, rich in tree variety. The settlement began to grow after a narrow gauge railway between Panevėžys and Švenčionėliai was built in 1899. Its train station was built in the traditional Zakopane Style of Architecture. During World War I, the manor was abandoned and looted. In the 1920s the former manor was converted into administrative offices and a primary school while the former barn was converted into a parish church. According to the 1923 census, there were 79 residents in Saldutiškis. As the settlement grew, an agricultural school and foresters office was moved into the town. A sawmill provided electricity for the town and surrounding settlements. After World War II, several collective farms (kolkhozy) were established and primary school was converted into secondary. Saldutiškis had 309 residents in 1957, 388 in 1970, and 434 in 1979.

On July 30, 2002, the President of Lithuania confirmed coat of arms of the town. The arms depict silver deer with two pine branches with golden cones instead of antlers. These are symbols of the nearby Labanoras Forest, the largest forest in Lithuania.
