Saint Saviour (Jèrriais: St Saûveux/St Sauveur) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is the only one to be virtually landlocked, having only a small piece of access to the sea at Le Dicq. Saint Saviour was the location of the World Cricket League Division 5 Final between Jersey and Afganisthan in which Jersey lost a narrow match by two wickets.
It borders five other parishes.
