Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar (formerly known as Saskatoon—Rosetown) was a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2015.

The district consisted of the southwestern quadrant of Saskatoon and the surrounding southwestern rural area which included the towns of Biggar, Rosetown and Delisle.

It was created in 1996 as "Saskatoon—Rosetown" from Kindersley—Lloydminster, Saskatoon—Clark's Crossing, Saskatoon—Dundurn and The Battlefords—Meadow Lake ridings.

In 1997, it was renamed "Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar".

This riding was the closest in Saskatchewan in 2008, when it was decided by fewer than 300 votes. The major parties nominated the same candidates in 2011 as they did in 2008. The incumbent was Conservative Kelly Block, an administrator from Saskatoon. She held the riding against Delisle farmer and National Farmers Union activist Nettie Wiebe.

Following the Canadian federal electoral redistribution, 2012, the riding was abolished. The Saskatoon portion became part of Saskatoon West, while the rural portions joined Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek and Battlefords—Lloydminster.
