"Save the Children" is a song written by Al Cleveland, Renaldo Benson and Marvin Gaye and issued on Marvin's 1971 album, What's Going On.

While not issued as a single in the United States, the song was issued as a single by the Tamla-Motown label in the United Kingdom where it peaked at No.

Gaye sang this song briefly while touring Europe in 1976 as part of his What's Going On medley.

The song was a continuation of the message "What's Going On" delivered, about love, this time, for the children.

Marvin later joked on the liner notes of the album "not let (this song) influence anyone".
