Alicia Laing Salisbury (born September 20, 1939) is an American former politician who served as a Republican in the Kansas State Senate from 1984 to 2000.

Salisbury was born in Topeka into a political family; her father, Herbert Laing, was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives, and her grandfather, Henry Laing, was a longtime state senator.[1] She attended the University of Kansas, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1961.[2] Prior to her service in the state legislature, Salisbury spent four years on the Kansas Board of Education.[1]

In 1984, Salisbury was elected to the Kansas Senate, and she was re-elected in 1988, 1992 and 1996. She was considered a centrist in the Kansas Republican Party, opposed to the more conservative wing of the party; in 2000, she lost her primary election to a more-conservative challenger.[1] After her time in the Senate, she won a seat on the Republican National Committee. Her split with the conservative wing continued and she endorsed Democratic Governor Laura Kelly's re-election in April 2022.[3]
