The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan (Template:Langx) is the legislative chamber of the Saskatchewan Legislature in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Bills passed by the assembly are given royal assent by the lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan, in the name of the King of Canada.[1] The assembly meets at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina.
There are 61 constituencies in the province, which elect members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). All are single-member districts, though the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw were in the past represented through multi-member districts, with members elected through block voting.
The legislature has been unicameral since its establishment; there has never been a provincial upper house.
The 30th Saskatchewan Legislature was elected at the 2024 Saskatchewan general election.

The Black Rod was made by Scott Olson Goldsmith of Regina.[5]
