Sagaria is an extinct genus of flowering plant in the Ranunculaceae (the buttercup family) which existed in southern Italy during the Albian age.^[1] The type species is Sagaria cilentana.

The genus was erected based on a single specimen (part and counterpart) retrieved from an exposure in the Alburni mountains near Petina, in the Campania region. The locality was already known for both crustacean and plant fossils.^[2] The name is dedicated to the collector of the specimen, Giovanni Sagaria.^[1]
