Hans Egede Saabye (July 1746 – 31 August 1817) was a Danish priest and a missionary to Greenland.
He was the son of parish priest Jørgen Saabye and Petronella Egede, one of the daughters of Hans Egede, the apostle of Greenland, whose Bergen Company had begun the Danish-Norwegian settlement there in 1721.
[2] He graduated from Roskilde secondary school in 1764 and earned a degree in theology in 1767.
In 1779, he became a parish priest in Vålse on Falster in south-eastern Denmark and in 1811 moved to Udby on Funen, where he died in 1817.
The diary from his stay in Greenland was published in 1816 and received much attention among ethnographers as well as friends of the mission.
