The Petite rivière Savane (English: Little Savannah River) is a tributary of the Sainte-Anne River, flowing on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, in the territory unorganized from Lac-Jacques-Cartier, in the La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
This small valley is served on each side of the river by various forest roads. Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Petite Savane River is generally frozen from the beginning of December until the end of March; however, safe traffic on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March. The upper part has a freezing period of about an additional week. The water level of the river varies with the seasons and the precipitation; the spring flood occurs in March or April.

The Petite rivière Savane flows on the southwest shore of the Sainte-Anne River (Beaupré), in the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, facing the northern limit of Saint-Tite-des-Caps. This confluence is located west of the northwest shore of the St. Lawrence River, south west of the village center of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François and north of the village center of Saint-Tite-des-Caps.
From the confluence of the Petite Savane River, the current flows over generally towards the southwest by the course of the Sainte-Rivière Anne, which crosses downtown Beaupré, to the northwest shore of the Saint Lawrence River.[1]
The toponym "Petite rivière Savane" was formalized on March 25, 1997 at the Place Names Bank of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
