North Battleford is a small city in west central Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located directly across the North Saskatchewan River from the town of Battleford. Together, the two communities are known as The Battlefords.
In 2001 a problem with the city's water system lead to the infection of approximately 2000 people with Cryptosporidiosis; a lawsuit for several million dollars went through in 2003.
