Ezra Perin Savage (April 3, 1842 – January 8, 1920) was an American politician and the 12th governor of Nebraska from 1901 to 1903.

Savage was born in Connersville, Indiana, but his parents moved to Iowa shortly after his birth.

Savage enlisted in the Union Army as a soldier and scout at the start of the Civil War, but he was discharged due to a disability.

[3] Savage took over as governor of Nebraska on May 1, 1901, after the resignation of Charles H. Dietrich to fill a US Senate seat.

Savage intended to run for a second term as governor, but the criticism which was caused by his parole and pardon of former State Treasurer Joseph S. Bartley, who was serving a prison sentence for embezzlement, influenced his decision to step down from the race.
