Neilburg (2016 population: 379) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Hillsdale No. 440 and Census Division No. 13. A grade K–12 school is located in the village that services the Neilburg area as well as grade 7–12 students from Marsden. In 1999 crop circles were discovered in a field near the village.[7]

Neilburg was named after an early settler, Clifford O’Neil. The first post office was in his home and was located about one mile south-east of where the village is today. Neilburg was established as a hamlet in 1923 and by 1946, it had grown big enough to be incorporated as the village of Neilburg.

The village is about 6 kilometres away from the north-east corner of Manitou Lake. On the north-west corner of the lake is Big Manitou Regional Park.
