Ernfold (2016 population: {{nts|15}}) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Morse No. 165 and Census Division No. 7. Initially situated alongside the original two-lane highway, the village was enclosed by the opposing lanes of the divided Trans-Canada Highway in 1973. In order to avoid complete destruction of the village the eastbound lane of the Trans-Canada Highway was rerouted approximately 3 km south of the village, leaving the village sandwiched between the Trans-Canada.

The village's population peaked at around 300 citizens.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.macleans.ca/general/decline-and-development-of-the-prairie/ |title=Decline and development of the prairie |last=Richardson |first=Mark |magazine=Maclean's |date=2012-07-24 |access-date=2017-01-19}}
