Sir John Savage (c.1370–1450), was a member of the Savage family who fought at the Battle of Agincourt and received a knighthood from Henry V for his service there.

Early career
It is believed that he was the John Savage who fought at the tournament at Inglevere, near Calais between May and June, 1390. During a truce between England and France three French knights held a tournament there, and defended the lists (the staked and embanked line sepeating the stands from the arena, the term became synonymous with organised fighting) for 30 days against opponents from England and elsewhere. The names of these French knights were Sir Boucicaut the Younger, the Lord Reginald de Roye, and the Lord de Saimpe and the King of France was also in attendance at the tournament.

John Savage at this time only a Squire of honour and of the body to the Earl of Huntingdon fought Reginald de Roye.
