The Diocese of Saskatchewan is a diocese of the Ecclesiastical Province of the Northern Lights of the Anglican Church of Canada formed in 1874. Its headquarters are in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The Diocese of Saskatoon was split off from it in 1933.
The diocese encompasses the northern two-thirds of Saskatchewan and has 35 parishes and 68 congregations. About 8,400 people are identified as Anglican on parish rolls, although attendance is much lower at less than 1,000 in 2022. In addition to the roles of diocesan bishop and indigenous bishop, there were nine paid priests and one paid deacon active in the diocese in 2022 and seven non-stipendiary priests and nine non-stipendiary deacons.
