Michael Salberg is an American attorney specializing in international affairs and combating antisemitism through prominent Jewish NGOs. He earned a B.A. from the University of Cincinnati in 1973 and a J.D. from New York Law School in 1976. Following law school, he practiced law in New York City for over 28 years, including as a partner at the firm now known as Graubard Miller.

Salberg joined the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in 2003, initially serving as General Counsel until July 2006 and Deputy Chief Operating Officer until December 2005, followed by roles as Special Assistant to the National Director, Associate National Director, and Director of International Affairs until approximately 2015. In this capacity, he oversaw efforts to monitor and address global antisemitism, extremism, and hate crimes, represented the ADL at international forums such as the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and contributed to policies on hate speech, tolerance education, and human rights.

His work focused on building coalitions with governments, NGOs, and Jewish organizations worldwide to counter threats to Jewish communities and promote democratic values, with particular activity in addressing online hate and radicalization, enhancing digital safety, interfaith dialogue, and initiatives with U.S. communities like Latino/Hispanics. He has testified before Congress, contributed to ADL reports on Middle East media and antisemitism, and positioned himself as a key figure in civil rights and Jewish advocacy networks influencing policy on international security and prejudice.

In January 2016, Salberg transitioned to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in a newly created role as Director of International Affairs Policy & Planning, where he provided strategic direction on issues including Iran, BDS campaigns, lawfare, campus activities, Israel's security, US-Israel relations, and oversaw the UN Committee. His professional profiles indicate he may now be self-employed in New York. No personal controversies, legal issues, or financial details are documented, underscoring his commitment to social justice and shaping responses to challenges like rising antisemitism in Europe and beyond.
