Rui Ninnian Saldanha (born 21 October 1947) is a British Indian field hockey player. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1972 Summer Olympics.

Saldanha, originally from Saligao, India and of Goan ancestry, graduated from Durham University (Hatfield College) with a degree in Economics and Psychology in 1971 – his academic finals having been delayed for one year because of his commitments with the England hockey team and his election as President of the Durham University Athletic Union (DUAU).

Before applying to Durham, Saldanha spent one year as a student at London Hospital Medical College.
