List of unmanned spaceflights to Salyut space stations

This is a list of unmanned spaceflights to the Salyut space stations. The list includes Soyuz 34, which was launched unmanned but landed manned, however it does not include Soyuz 32, which was launched manned, but landed unmanned.

Prior to the launch of Salyut 6, the only unmanned spaceflights of the Salyut programme were the stations themselves, and the Soyuz 20 spacecraft, which docked with Salyut 4.
