Saint Saviour is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey. None of the parishes is landlocked, but Saint Saviour is almost so, having but a small piece of outlet to the sea at Le Dicq.

The island's capital, St Helier, spills out of its own parish, Saint Helier Parish, into Saint Saviour. Government House, the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, stands in Saint Saviour.

Saint Saviour borders five other parishes: St Helier to the west, St Clement and Grouville to the southeast, St Martin to the northeast and Trinity to the northwest.
