Saskatoon Northwest is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. It covers the neighbourhoods of Lawson Heights, Silverwood Heights and the surrounding area. This constituency includes the Saskatoon Correctional Centre and the SaskTel Centre.

History

The riding was created for the 1995 general election as a mixed urban and rural district. The riding contained the neighbourhoods of Lawson Heights and Silverwood Heights, as well as the adjacent area of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park north and west of the South Saskatchewan River. The riding lost most of its rural territory to Martensville-Warman for the 2016 general election, and gained the largely industrial area around the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport.

For the next general election, the riding will gain significant territory east of the Chief Mistawasis Bridge, including Aspen Ridge and surrounding undeveloped area, from Saskatoon Silverspring-Sutherland and Saskatoon Willowgrove. As part of this change, the riding will be renamed Saskatoon Chief Mistawasis.
