Savyon (Hebrew: סביון) is an affluent local council in the Central District of Israel, bordering the cities of Kiryat Ono and Yehud.

[1] During the 18th and 19th centuries, the area of Savyon belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west.

[2] Savyon was founded in 1955 by Africa Israel Investments for elderly South African Jewish immigrants.

[3] In 1948, David Ben-Gurion had requested the destruction of Al-'Abbasiyya, among other Palestinian villages whose inhabitants fled or were expelled.

Large houses were built in the style that the community was accustomed to from their life in South Africa.
