Savanes Region is a defunct region of Ivory Coast. From 1997 to 2011, it was a first-level subdivision region. The region's capital was Korhogo and its area was 40,210 km². Since 2011, the area formerly encompassed by the region is co-extensive with Savanes District.
At the time of its dissolution, Savanes Region was divided into four departments: Boundiali, Ferkessédougou, Korhogo, and Tengréla.
Savanes Region was abolished as part of the 2011 administrative reorganisation of the subdivisions of Ivory Coast. The area formerly encompassed by the region is now the same territory as Savanes District.
