Kindersley-Biggar is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. Created for the 9th Saskatchewan general election as Kerrobert-Kindersley, this constituency was renamed Kindersley for the 18th Saskatchewan general election in 1975 and Kindersley-Biggar for the 2024 general election.
The largest centre in the riding is the town of Kindersley (pop. 4,571). Other communities in the district include the towns of Kerrobert, Macklin, Eatonia, and Luseland; and the villages of Denzil, Marengo, Coleville, Tramping Lake, and Major.
