Savernake is a civil parish immediately south and southeast of Marlborough in Wiltshire, England. The settlements in the parish are the hamlets of Cadley and Clench Common. Savernake Forest covers the eastern half of the parish.

Two Roman roads cross the parish, one from Mildenhall to Old Salisbury and the other between Cirencester and Winchester.

The eastern end of Wansdyke, an early medieval defensive earthwork, is in the northeast of the parish.
