Craig Robert Sauvé (born 1981) is a Canadian politician and musician, currently serving as city councillor for the district of Saint-Henri—Little-Burgundy—Pointe-Saint-Charles in Le Sud-Ouest. He currently sits as an independent. Previously, he represented Projet Montréal. He was first elected in the 2013 Montreal municipal election as a Projet Montréal candidate.[1] In that election, he received 29% of the vote in a three-way race between himself, incumbent Véronique Fournier of Coalition Montréal, and Derek Robertson of Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal. He was re-elected in 2017, receiving over 65% of the vote. Ahead of the 2021 Montreal municipal election, Sauvé left the Projet Montréal political party due to sexual assault allegations.[2][3][4][5] He was re-elected with 52% of the vote.

While in the opposition, Sauvé was Projet Montréal's transport critic, and as such has taken positions in favour of increased active transport infrastructure, increasing funding for the STM, and against the highway 19 extension.[6] Sauvé has also taken a public stand against reversing the flow of petroleum pipeline 9b[7] and opposed the P-6 bylaw.

He currently is a special advisor to the executive committee as well as vice-chair of the board of directors of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM).[8]

On March 28, 2024, Sauvé announced that he was standing for nomination for the New Democratic Party's candidate in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun at the September 18, 2024 federal by-election.[9] He placed third, behind Bloc Québécois candidate Louis-Philippe Sauvé and Liberal candidate Laura Palestini.

Sauvé is also a heavy metal musician.
