James Savage (1767–1845) was an English antiquary, who worked as printer, bookseller, librarian and newspaper editor.
Born at Howden, Yorkshire, on 30 August 1767, he was the son of James Savage, a bell and clock maker.
When about sixteen years old he became a contributor to the journals published in the neighbourhood of Howden, and in 1790 he began business there with his brother, William Savage, as printer and bookseller.
His next move was to Dorchester, where he edited for fourteen years the Dorset County Chronicle and Somersetshire Gazette.
His wife was Diana, eldest daughter of Thomas Swainston of Hatfield, near Doncaster.
