Paul Thomas Salata is a former professional American football wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) and the All-America Football Conference (AAFC).

After his college football days at USC, Salata played for the AAFC/NFL's San Francisco 49ers (1949–1950) and the AAFC's Baltimore Colts (1950).
