Marie Savard (August 15, 1936 – January 16, 2012) was a Canadian writer living in Quebec.

The daughter of Paul Savard and Germaine Collin,[1] she was born in Quebec City, Quebec. In 1965, she published her first poetry collection Les Coins de l'Ove. In the same year, she released a self-titled recording of songs/poems. From 1961 to 1966, she wrote a number of scripts for children for Radio-Canada. Savard also wrote a number of scripts for radio broadcasts, including Bien à moi which was first broadcast in 1969 and later rebroadcast in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Her work appeared in various literary magazines such as Liberté, La barre du jour [fr], Sorcières (Paris), Moebius [fr], LittéRéalité (York University), Arcade and l'Arbre à Paroles.[2]

In 1974, she established Éditions de la Pleine Lune, the first publishing house in Quebec dedicated to women.[2]

Savard died in Montreal at the age of 75.[3]
