Dorintosh (2016 population: 134) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Meadow Lake No. 588 and Census Division No. 17.

The village name is a portmanteau of the names of two members of parliament for North Battleford: Dorise Nielsen (1940–45) and Cameron Ross McIntosh (1925-40).[5]

The Meadow Lake Provincial Park is directly north of Dorintosh along Highway 4.
