Kelvington-Wadena is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada, located in the east-central region. It was created in 1975 from Wadena and Kelvington.
The riding was last contested in the 2016 general election, when it returned Saskatchewan Party MLA Hugh Nerlien.
The largest population centres in the constituency are Wadena, Foam Lake, Kelvington and Porcupine Plain. Villages in the riding include Bjorkdale, Elfros, Rama, Archerwill, Margo and Lintlaw. Both major Canadian railways – the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific – have branch lines serving the area.
Since it was first contested in 1975, the riding has returned MLAs from all three major parties. It originally alternated between the New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives, before being won by Liberal MLA June Draude with a thin majority. Draude later joined the newly created Saskatchewan Party, and the riding has been held by Saskatchewan Party MLAs since.
