Douglas Barton Osborne Savile (1909 to 2000) was an Irish-born Canadian mycologist, plant pathologist and evolutionary biologist, born in Dublin, who is particularly renowned for his work on the coevolution of host plants and their rust fungi. He went to elementary school in tropical Africa and secondary school in England, took an MSc at Macdonald College of McGill University in 1934 and a PhD at the University of Michigan in 1939 on nuclear structure and behaviour in the rust fungi, then served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1939 to 1943.
