Save Britain's Heritage (styled as SAVE Britain's Heritage and also known as just SAVE) is a British charity, created in 1975 by a group of journalists, historians, architects, and planners to campaign publicly for endangered historic buildings. It is also active on the broader issues of preservation policy. SAVE is a registered charity governed by a board of trustees.

SAVE uses press releases, leaflets, reports, books, and exhibitions to advocate for decaying country houses, redundant churches and chapels, disused mills and warehouses, cottages and town halls, railway stations, hospitals, military buildings, and asylums.

SAVE was the first organisation to campaign for the introduction of the Thirty-Year Rule, which now makes post-war buildings in England and Wales eligible for listing.
