'''Săveni''' ({{langx|hu|Szöven}}) is a small town located in [[Botoșani County]] in the [[Western Moldavia]] region in northeastern [[Romania]]. The town administers five villages: Bodeasa, Bozieni, Chișcăreni, Petricani, and Sat Nou.

Near Săveni, at {{coord|47|56|2.27|N|26|50|19.58|E}}, there is a {{convert|210|m|abbr=off}} tall [[guyed mast]] for FM-/TV-broadcasting. The town features two Orthodox churches, the Saint Nicholas Church and the Saint George Church.

The town's main educational centers are the "Școala Gimnazială Nr.1 Săveni" elementary and middle school, with an old decrepit building from the early 1900' which functioned as a Jewish school, and the "Liceul Teoretic Dr. Mihai Ciucă", which is an elementary and high school.

The "Spitalul Orășenesc Săveni" is the local hospital. The old cinema "Patria" was recently rehabilitated with funds and has become a modern "Casă de Cultură". There is an archaeology museum located in the town.
