Sakskøbing, previously spelled Sakskjøbing, is a town with a population of 4,595 (1 January 2022). Until 1 January 2007 it was the seat of the former Sakskøbing Municipality (Danish, kommune) in Guldborgsund Municipality in Region Sjælland on the northeast coast of the island of Lolland in south Denmark.

The water tower in Sakskøbing, nicknamed "Saxine" or "the smiling water tower", is a 33 meter tall water tower and a landmark for the town. The tower was built in 1908 by Christiani & Nielsen, but did not receive its smile until 1982, when the architect Flemming Skude decorated it.
