Sauvé is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Ahuntsic district in the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville. It was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the metro.

The metro station, designed by Adalbert Niklewicz, is a normal side-platform station, built in tunnel. A single mezzanine connects entrances on either side of rue Sauvé.

Just south of the station on Berri Street, is the Canadian National railway line, which will carry the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT) Repentigny-Mascouche Line, which is expected to commence operation in 2008. A Sauvé commuter rail station is planned to be constructed to connect these corridors, and will likely replace the nearby Ahuntsic VIA Rail station.
