Sava Trlajić (Serbian Cyrillic: Сава Трлајић; 19 July 1884 – August 1941) was a bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church serving as Bishop of the Eparchy of Gornji Karlovac in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1938 until the beginning of World War II.

He was martyred by the Ustaše in the Nazi puppet state of the Independent State of Croatia sometime in August 1941. The Serbian Orthodox Church venerates him as a saint, with the titles of new martyr and hieromartyr.
