Marsden (2016 population: 297) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Manitou Lake No. 442 and Census Division No. 13. It gained notoriety shortly after the impact of the Buzzard Coulee meteorite near the village on 20 November 2008.
Marsden is located along Highway 40, just east of Wells Lake, and about 4 miles north-west of Manitou Lake.
The village was named after Marsden, West Yorkshire in England. That was the birthplace of the wife of Alex F. Wright, the first postmaster.[5]
