Craig Edward Savill (born October 25, 1978 in Lahr, West Germany) is a Canadian curler from Ottawa. He currently plays lead for Glenn Howard.

Savill's father was stationed at CFB Lahr in Germany, and Savill was born there. However, Savill grew up and still lives in Ottawa. He must commute to play with his current team. He curls out of the Ottawa Curling Club in club play, but officially his team is from the Coldwater & District Curling Club in Coldwater, Ontario. Before playing with Howard, Savill won two Canadian Junior Curling Championships and two World Junior Curling Championships (1998, 1999) as John Morris's third. In 2001 he moved to the position of second, still with John Morris. The team went to the 2002 Nokia Brier, and lost in the final to Alberta, skipped by Randy Ferbey. A couple of years later, Morris moved to Alberta and Savill joined Howards team. With Howard, Savill, second Brent Laing and third Richard Hart lost in the 2006 Tim Hortons Brier to Quebec skipped by fellow Ottawa Curling Club member Jean-Michel Ménard.
