Gladmar is a dissolved village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Highway 18 as it runs east from Highway 6 towards Lake Alma. Gladmar is 18.4 kilometres (11.4 mi) north of the Canada–United States border. It is part of the Rural Municipality of Surprise Valley No. 9 and Census Division No. 2.
The area around Gladmar was settled around the turn of the 20th century, a period when a large number of Norwegians migrated into Saskatchewan from older settlements in the northern United States. As a result, Norwegian-Canadians still represent a substantial proportion of the population in the area today.
