Sal Kennedy is an aging hippie in the Marvel Comics universe.

The character, created by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov, first appeared in Iron Man vol. 4, #2 (February 2005), and features as a major recurring character throughout the Extremis arc.

Within the context of the stories, Sal is an old friend of Tony Stark and Maya Hansen. When the Extremis virus is stolen, the duo seek him out for guidance. Some time later, after Sal had taken a position at S.H.I.E.L.D. under its new director, Tony, he is killed during an attack by a genetically engineered monster. Stricken by grief and guilt, Maya delivers Extremis samples to the Mandarin, unaware that he is a criminal and that he orchestrated the attack.
