Saul Hallap (10 December 1897 – 18 July 1941) was an Estonian middleweight weightlifter who won a world title in 1922 and placed ninth at the 1924 Summer Olympics. After retiring from competitions he worked as a circus performer and masseur. He was killed during World War II together with his partner, the circus acrobat Alma Kaaluga. Since 2002 a memorial weightlifting tournament has been held in Tartu in his honor.
