Kerrobert is a town in west central Saskatchewan. It has a population of 970 (2021).
Kerrobert is served by Highway 21, Highway 31, and Highway 51 as well as the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is approximately 65 kilometres (40 mi) east of the Saskatchewan/Alberta border and 180 kilometres (110 mi) west of Saskatoon.
The town is known for its large water tower, clearly visible from 15 kilometres (10 mi) away. The town name is commonly pronounced by Saskatchewan locals as "Care-Robere", a reflection of the expansion of French colonial settlements across the southwest Saskatchewan prairie in the late 1800s.
