Risto Savin (Žalec, July 11, 1859 – Zagreb, December 15, 1948), born Fridrich Širca,[1] was a Slovenian composer. He is one of the composers credited with creating a Slovenian national tradition of opera.[2]

Risto Savin was a pseudonym adopted by Fridrich Širca, a general in the army.[3] He studied composition with Robert Fuchs in Vienna and became notable as one of the composers of Slovenian-language opera. His opera Lepa Vida (Lovely Vida, 1907) is one of the Slovenian operas to show the influence of Wagner.[4] The house where Risto Savin was born in Žalec is now a museum.
