Ledger is an unincorporated community in Pondera County, Montana, United States. Ledger is {{convert|8.5|mi}} northeast of Conrad. The community had a post office until December 17, 2005; it still has its own ZIP code, 59456.{{cite web|url=http://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action|title=USPS - Look Up a ZIP Code|accessdate=2012-02-15|author=United States Postal Service|year=2012}}{{cite web|title=Postmaster Finder - Post Offices by ZIP Code|url=http://webpmt.usps.gov/pmt008.cfm|publisher=United States Postal Service|accessdate=July 8, 2014}}

The post office opened in 1916 under the name Esper. The name changed in 1917 to Ledgerwood in honor of local resident Dan Ledgerwood. Since North Dakota already had a Ledgerwood, some residents shortened the name to Ledger.{{cite web |title=Ledger |url=http://mtplacenames.org/ |website=Montana Place Names Companion |publisher=Montana Historical Society |access-date=5 April 2021}}
