The District of Saskatchewan was a regional administrative district of Canada's Northwest Territories. Much of the area was incorporated into the province of Saskatchewan. The western part became part of Alberta, and the eastern part (which extended to Lake Winnipeg) is now part of Manitoba. Its capital was Prince Albert. The district was abolished with the creation of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1905.
Most of the boundaries of the district were defined by lines of the Dominion Land Survey.
- On the south, the 9th Correction Line, about 51.97° North
- On the west, the line between Ranges 10 and 11 west of the Fourth Meridian (a staircase-shaped line about 112° west)
- On the north, the 18th Correction Line
- On the east, the west shore of Lake Winnipeg and the Nelson River.
