Sava (Trlajić) was a Serbian Orthodox bishop who led the Eparchy of Gornji Karlovac during the late 1930s and early 1940s. Born Svetozar Trlajić in Mol, he pursued legal studies in Belgrade and Zagreb before entering the priesthood. After taking monastic vows following the death of his wife, he rose through the ecclesiastical ranks to become an auxiliary bishop and eventually the head of his diocese. His leadership was tested during the Second World War, when he refused to abandon his congregation despite the occupation of his territory.
