The Poultry Cross is a market cross in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, marking the site of former markets. Constructed in the 14th century and modified in the 18th century it stands at the junction of Silver Street and Minster Street.

The Poultry Cross is the only one remaining of four market crosses that once stood in Salisbury.
