Savolax and Kymmenegård County, or Kymenkartano and Savo Province, was a county of the Kingdom of Sweden (located in what is now southeastern Finland) from 1747 to 1775.
In 1743, following the Russo-Swedish War of 1741–1743, part of the Kymmenegård and Nyslott County, including the county capital of Villmanstrand (Lappeenranta), was ceded to Russia in the Treaty of Åbo (Turku). The remaining part of the county was merged in 1747 with some territories from Nyland and Tavastehus County to a new county of Savolax and Kymmenegård. The county capital was moved to Lovisa (Loviisa).
In 1775 the county was split into the Savolax and Karelia County and the Kymmenegård County.
