Sallins (Irish: Na Solláin) is a suburban town, situated 3.5 km north of the town centre of Naas, from which it is separated by the M7 motorway. Sallins is the anglicised name of Na Solláin which means "The Willows". It is the 10th largest settlement in Kildare and the 91st largest in Ireland. Sallins grew as a result of its position on both the Grand Canal and the Dublin to Cork railway line. The village's railway station serves both Sallins itself and neighbouring Naas, as reflected in its official name of "Sallins and Naas".

The canal near the village is popular for fishing and boating. There are many canal barges moored in Sallins, some of them serving as permanent residences. The Leinster Aqueduct is situated nearby. It is located mid-way along the canal between Sallins and Caragh. This is the point where the Grand Canal crosses the River Liffey.
