Dorothy Savile, Viscountess Halifax (née Spencer; 1640 – 16 December 1670) was the first wife of George Savile, 1st Viscount Halifax (later 1st Marquess of Halifax), and the mother of the 2nd Marquess.

Dorothy was the daughter of Henry Spencer, 1st Earl of Sunderland, and his wife, the former Lady Dorothy Sidney (or Sydney).

Lady Dorothy married George Savile on 29 December 1656, at St Giles in the Fields in London. They had two children: William Savile, 2nd Marquess of Halifax Anne Savile, later Countess of Carbery (c.1663-1690)
