Celestí Boada i Salvador (1902 – 18 October 1939) was a Spanish catalan politician. He was born in Santa Coloma de Gramanet. He was a member of the Republican Left of Catalonia. He supported the Second Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War. Because he was a Catalan nationalist, he was executed by firing squad by the government of Francisco Franco in Campo de la Bota after the Nationalist victory.
