Salph End is a village located in the Borough of Bedford in Bedfordshire, England.

Officially, Salph End is one of the hamlets (or "Ends") of Renhold, and is the westernmost settlement within the civil parish. However, it is also one of the largest and most distinct settlements within Renhold, meaning that Salph End can be considered a separate village in its own right.

The name comes from sealh hoh (later Salcho) which was Old English for ‘Spur of land with willows on it’ plus "End".^[1]

It was named in the Domesday Book in 1086 with a value of 5 pounds with 8 ploughlands, 2 ploughs of meadow and woodland for 50 pigs.^[2]
