Saskatoon South (formerly Saskatoon—Grasswood) is a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2015. Most of it previously was in the Blackstrap riding (93%) with a small amount formerly in the Saskatoon—Humboldt (7%) riding, both in the city of Saskatoon.
Saskatoon—Grasswood was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, on October 19, 2015. It is borders by 4 other ridings, Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan to the south and east, Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek to the north-east and west, Saskatoon—University to the north, and Saskatoon West to the north-west.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding was renamed Saskatoon South upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election which will be held on April 28, 2025. It lost all of its territory outside of the City of Saskatoon to Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek and lost the area north of 8th Street and west of Highway 11 to Saskatoon—University.
