Ardie Savea (born 14 October 1993) is a rugby union footballer who plays as a flanker for Wellington in the ITM Cup. Younger brother of All Black winger Julian, the loose forward was a member of the Rongotai College 1st XV, and has also represented New Zealand on the international sevens circuit. In the 2013 Super Rugby season he joined the Hurricanes after signing a two-year deal.

In November 2013, Savea travelled with the All Blacks to Europe, along with his older brother Julian. This was because "we want to introduce him to the way of the All Black life," said Coach Steve Hansen.

In 2015, Savea was selected for the All Blacks Sevens squad to play in the Wellington 7s series in January 2016.
