Salm-Kyrburg was a medieval statelet located in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It was twice created: the first time as a Wild- and Rhinegraviate (partitioned from Upper Salm), and secondly as a Principality (succeeding the earlier Principality of Salm-Leuze). The first state of Salm-Kyrburg was partitioned between itself, Salm-Mörchingen and Salm-Tronecken in 1607, and was inherited by Salm-Neuweiler in 1681 upon the lines' extinction.
The second state was granted new territories formerly belonging to the Bishops of Münster in 1803, joined the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806, was annexed by the First French Empire in 1810, and was mediatised to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1813. The full title used by the Princes of the resurrected state was "Prince of Salm-Kyrburg, Sovereign Prince of Ahaus, Bocholt and Gemen, Wildgrave of Daun and Kyrburg, Rhinegrave of Stein".
