Sævik or Sævig is a small village in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway.

Sævik had a church and was for many years a sub-parish (sokn); recorded in the 1500s as a part of Fosnes parish (prestegjeld), from 1820 in Overhalla parish (not to be confused with Overhalla municipality). The sub-parish of Sævik was separated from Overhalla, together with another sub-parish Vemundvik and the small city Namsos, in 1865. The three sub-parishes together constituted the new parish Namsos.[1]

Fro 1863 the central church in the sub-parish Sævik was no longer located in Sævik village, but in Klingen. In May 1885, the sub-parish (now under Namsos parish) changed its name to Klingen.[1]
