Ilya Juan Salkind Dominguez (born August 27, 1947), usually known as Ilya Salkind, is a film and television producer, well known for his contributions to the live-action Superman films of the 1970s and '80s alongside his father, Alexander Salkind.

Ilya Salkind was born August 27, 1947 in Mexico City, Mexico, the son of Berta Dominguez, a Mexican novelist, and producer Alexander Salkind.

At the age of one, Salkind was photographed sitting on the lap of Zsa Zsa Gabor.

His grandfather, Mikhail Salkind, was one of the pioneers of silent films and produced Joyless Street (1925), featuring then-relatively-unknown Greta Garbo in her first major role.

Afterwards, Mikhail, along with Ilya's own father, Alexander Salkind, joined their forces to supervise many successful films, from Orson Welles' The Trial (1962) to Abel Gance's Austerlitz (1959).
