The title compound, [Sn{C6H4(OH)COO}(C6H5)3{OP(C6H5)3}], is comprised of discrete molecules with the SnIV atom in a trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment. The carboxylate O atom of the salicylate anion and the O atom of the triphenylphosphine oxide moiety are in the axial positions and the three ipso C atoms occupy the equatorial positions. An intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond is present in the anion between the hydroxy group and the carbonyl atom O of the carboxylate group.
