Michael John Saward (14 May 1932 – 31 January 2015) was a British Anglican priest, author and hymnodist. He was a member of the General Synod of the Church of England from 1975 to 1995 and was Canon Treasurer of St Paul's Cathedral from 1991 to 2000. He was part of a group of clergy who, under the leadership of John Stott, revived Evangelicalism in the Church of England.
Saward was born on 14 May 1932 in Blackheath, London, England. He was educated at a dame school in Petts Wood, London, and at Eltham College, an independent school in Mottingham, London. He became a practising Christian in 1946.
Saward served in the British Army as part of National Service. He was commissioned into the Royal Regiment of Artillery on 26 May 1951 as a second lieutenant. From 1951-52, he served in Accra, Ghana, as part of the Royal West African Frontier Force. On 15 March 1953, he was transferred to the Territorial Army and granted the acting rank of lieutenant. This ended his full-time military service.
