Sauteurs is a fishing village in the Saint Patrick Parish, Grenada and is the sixth largest in Grenada, with a population of about 1,300. It is located in the far north of that island overlooking Sauteurs Bay.

Here, the last remaining Carib Indians in Grenada jumped off a 40-meter-tall cliff later named Caribs' Leap to their deaths in 1651 rather than face domination by the conquering French. Thus the town was named Sautears, which is French for "jumpers".
