"Pseudomonas savastanoi" is a Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium that infects a variety of plants. It was once considered a pathovar of "Pseudomonas syringae," but following DNA-relatedness studies, it was instated as a new species [cite journal |author=Gardan, "et al." |title=DNA relatedness among the pathovars of "Pseudomonas syringae" and description of "Pseudomonas tremae" sp. nov. and "Pseudomonas cannabina" sp. nov. (ex Sutic and Dowson 1959) |journal=Int J Syst Bacteriol |volume=49 (Pt 2) |pages=469–78 |year=1999 Apr |pmid=10319466] .

The pathovar of greatest economical significance is "Pseudomonas savastanoi" pv. "oleae", which causes the disease olive knot. Symptoms include formation of galls on infected trees; tumour formation is induced by indoleacetic acid biosynthesis by the bacteria, in a similar manner to the well-studied crown gall pathogen, "Agrobacterium tumefaciens" [Tetsuji Yamada, Ping-Du Lee, Tsune Kosuge (1986) Insertion Sequence Elements of "Pseudomonas savastanoi": Nucleotide Sequence and Homology with "Agrobacterium tumefaciens" Transfer DNA. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 83, No. 21 pp. 8263-8267] .
