Redvers is a town in south-eastern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is the first town one passes through travelling west from Manitoba on the Red Coat Trail, the path taken by the North-West Mounted Police on their March West in 1874, and now modern Highway 13. A statue of a Mountie on a horse can be seen just west of the intersection of Highway 13 and Highway 8.

The town has a public school, hospital, two banks, and other businesses and services. Like most towns in the area, its economy is based on farming, oil drilling, and various services.[4]
