Thomas Salmon (1679-1767) was an English explorer, historical and geographical writer. William Cole wrote that Salmon wrote much of his work in Cambridge, where he ran a coffee house, and then moved to London. Salmon spent time at sea, and in both the East and West Indies for some time. He also travelled in Europe. In 1739-40 Salmon accompanied George Anson on his voyage round the world.
