Saratoga is a town in Carbon County, Wyoming, United States.[5] The population was 1,702 at the 2020 census.

Saratoga is the home of the Steinley Cup microbrew festival and competition,[6] usually held in August at Veterans Island Park, a playground and picnic facility on a small island in the North Platte River, which is designated a Blue Ribbon Stream by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.[7] Saratoga also has a public pool heated by a hot spring. Its two largest employers are the United States Forest Service and Carbon County School District No. 2, both public sector employers. The town's motto is "Where The Trout Leap In Main Street." The local newspaper is the Saratoga Sun.[8]
