The Battlefords is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. It includes the city of North Battleford and the adjoining town of Battleford. Collectively these communities are commonly known as "The Battlefords".
The district was first established in 1917 from the urban portions of the constituencies of Battleford and North Battleford. The district was contested in every election until the 1995 general election, when it was broken up into the re-created district of North Battleford and a new district, Battleford-Cut Knife. North Battleford and Battleford-Cut Knife were abolished before the 2003 general election and The Battlefords was re-established as an electoral district.
It was most recently contested in the 2020 election, when Saskatchewan Party candidate Jeremy Cockrill was elected.
