Paolo Savi (11 July 1798 – 5 April 1871) was an Italian geologist and ornithologist.

He devoted great attention to the museum of the university, the Natural History Museum of the University of Pisa, and formed one of the finest natural history collections in Europe.

He studied the geology of it:Monti Pisani and the Apuan Alps, explaining the metamorphic origin of the Carrara marble; he also contributed essays on the Miocene strata and fossils of Monte Bamboli, the iron ores of Elba and other subjects.

In the autumn of 1821 he obtained specimens of an unstreaked, dark, rufous-brown warbler which was new to science.

He published a full description of the bird in 1824, and it became commonly known as Savi's warbler.
