Salvador Borrego Escalante (Mexico City, April 24, 1915) is a Mexican journalist and historian. Borrego is controversial for his anti-Semitic statements and theories and is accused of Holocaust Recognition.

Borrego studied law, history, philosophy and economics. From 1936 to 1965 he worked as a reporter and editor at various Mexican newspapers, including Excelsior and Últimas Noticias. In his own words, he began to sympathize with Nazi Germany since 1937, after having seen a propagandist manipulation in the media in favor of the Allies.

In 1953 Borrego published his best-known book Derrota Mundial (Worldwide Defeat), claiming that the Second World War was provoked by the Soviet Union under the control of the Jews who subsequently succeeded the Western Allies on her side to get. Since the defeat of the forces of power, the world would thus be ruled by a "supercapitalism" controlled by the Jews. José Vasconcelos wrote a preface for the book. Van Derrota Mundial has sold more than half a million copies and now 48 presses have been published. Since then Borrego has also written books on the alleged power of the Jews in the United States and Mexico. He acts as one of the most important extreme right-wing authors in the Spanish-speaking world.

Borrego's books are rejected by most professional historians as pseudo history and are often described as conspiracy theories, and he is often criticized by Jewish and human rights organizations in Mexico. Besides anti-Semitic works, Borrego has also focused on protestantism, freemasonry, bankers, communism, medical science, globalization, the United States and the People's Republic of China.
