Andrew Victor Saville (born 12 December 1964) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker. His professional career lasted sixteen years, spent at a total of ten lower-division clubs in the Football League.
Saville was born in Hull. He made more than 100 appearances for his home-town club, Hull City, whom he joined from school. He was his club's leading scorer on several occasions, at Hull City in 1986–87, at Birmingham City in 1993–94, and again the following season for Preston North End, where he scored 30 goals in all competitions, his 29 League goals making him overall top scorer in Division Three.
In 1992–93 he had the rare distinction of becoming top scorer for two clubs in the same season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions for Hartlepool United before moving to Birmingham in March 1993, where his ten games produced seven goals, a total which no other Birmingham player bettered over the whole season.
