Savala (Russian: Савала) is a river in the Tambov and Voronezh oblasts of Russia. It is a right tributary of the Khopyor River (a tributary of the Don River). The Savala is 285 kilometres (177 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 7,720 square kilometres (2,980 sq mi). It flows over the southern part of the Oka-Don Plain. Its main tributary is the Yelan River. Most of the river's waters are from melting snow. Its average discharge is 20 cubic metres per second (710 cu ft/s). It freezes over in late November, and stays icebound until the spring thaw starts in late March or early April. The town of Zherdevka is along the banks of the Savala.
