Allroy Saves is the third studio album by the American punk rock band All, released in 1990 through Cruz Records. It was the first album that the band members recorded, mixed, and produced entirely on their own. A music video, the band's first, was released for the song "Simple Things".

Along with New Girl, Old Story, which was recorded at the same time, Allroy Saves was All's last album recorded in Los Angeles, the band's place of origin; the members relocated to Brookfield, Missouri following the album's recording. It was also their last album to be titled after their mascot, Allroy, who had been depicted on their album covers since 1988; Allroy would be absent from their albums for much of the 1990s until being brought back for 1998's Mass Nerder.

As with their prior records, all four band members contributed to the songwriting of Allroy Saves. Additionally, the band's longtime roadie Daniel "Bug" Snow wrote the lyrics to the 11-second "Freaky".Milo Aukerman, of All's precursor band the Descendents, contributed "Just Like Them", a song he had written in 1988 for his band Milestone. An alternate recording of the song, with Aukerman singing lead vocals, was later released on the band's 1999 compilation album All. Stevenson described the songs on Allroy Saves as being "definitely more in the Allroy's Revenge or the Descendents' All side of things, and not the Allroy Sez and the I Don't Want to Grow Up side of things. Like more integrated melodies and integrated guitar, less of a direct pop."
