Autophagy, an evolutionally conserved cellular degradation process, plays critical roles in plant development and stress response. Despite the wealth of information on the vital role of autophagy in responses to environmental stresses, little is known about the regulation of autophagy. In this study, we demonstrated that spermidine (Spd), a kind of polyamine, was involved in the regulation of salt tolerance through activating the expression of
ATG
(autophagy-related) genes and the formation of autophagosomes in cucumber under salt stress. Furthermore,
NADPH oxidase
-derived apoplastic H
2
O

-mediated Spd-induced salt tolerance and autophagy. Exogenous Spd significantly increased the tolerance to salt stress and inhibited the accumulation and ubiquitination of insoluble proteins. Foliar application of Spd promoted the transcript levels of
ATG
genes and autophagosomes formation. Besides, Spd induced the expression of
RBOH
(respiratory burst oxidase homolog), and the accumulation of H
2
O
2
both in leaves and roots. However, either pretreatment with dimethylthiourea (DMTU, an H
2
O
2
scavenger) or diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI, an inhibitor of
NADPH oxidase
) reduced Spd-induced accumulation of apoplastic H
2
O
2
. Importantly, Spd-induced salt tolerance and autophagy were compromised when plants were pretreated with DMTU or DPI. Furthermore, the silencing of
ATG4
and
ATG7
reduced Spd-induced salt tolerance and autophagosomes formation. Taken together, these results revealed that
RBOH
-dependent H
2
O
2
mediated the Spd-induced autophagy and salt tolerance in cucumber.
