Arm River is a river[1] in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is located in the south central part of the province in a region called the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, which extends throughout three Canadian provinces and five U.S. states. It is also within Palliser's Triangle and the Great Plains ecoregion.[2]

The river is a main tributary of Last Mountain Lake and is part of the Last Mountain Lake Sub-basin of the Upper Qu'Appelle Watershed.[3] Last Mountain Creek drains Last Mountain Lake into the Qu'Appelle River near Craven.
