Sonja Savić (; 15 September 1961 – 23 September 2008) was a Serbian actress, famous for her husky voice and series of impressive roles in some of the more memorable 1980s Yugoslav films. Sonja appeared in Miroslav Ilić video Voleo sam devojku iz grada. In later years she became an outspoken critic of the direction the country was taking, in terms of cultural and political values.

She was born in Čačak, Serbia and died in Belgrade, Serbia; the cause of death was initially reported to be a heroin overdose.
