Salan, Dux Salanus or Zalan (Bulgarian and Serbian Cyrillic: Салан or Залан; Hungarian: Zalán) was, according to the Gesta Hungarorum, a Bulgarian voivod (duke) who ruled in the 9th century between Danube and Tisa rivers, mainly in the territory of present-day Bačka region of Serbia and Hungary. The capital city of his voivodship (duchy) was Titel. The exact northern border of his duchy is not clear: according to some sources, his duchy included only Bačka, while according to other sources his duchy also included much of present-day central Hungary, present-day eastern Slovakia and part of present-day western Ukraine.
