The Savage Frontier is a region of the subcontinent of Faerûn in the fictional fantasy campaign setting of the Forgotten Realms. It is situated west of the Silver Marches and east of the Sword Coast, where the cities of Neverwinter and Luskan lie. This region was first detailed in FR5, The Savage Frontier, published in 1988.^[1]

Contrary to its name, much of the area is really not a savage frontier and it is quite civilized. In some Dungeons & Dragons modules, however, broader conflicts (such as those between Luskan and Waterdeep, the cities and the Zhentarim etc.) make the area a dangerous one.

The MMORPG Neverwinter Nights (AOL, 1991-1997) and the computer games Neverwinter Nights, Gateway to the Savage Frontier and Treasures of the Savage Frontier are all set in this region.
