Wood Mountain (2016 population: 20) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Old Post No. 43 and Census Division No. 3. Its name is derived from the Red River Métis words "montagne de bois" (meaning mountain of wood in French), due to the abundance of poplar trees in the otherwise barren region. Highway 18 and Highway 358 intersect south of the community.
Wood Mountain is known for its annual stampede that has been held every year for more than 124 years.
This village is northeast of the First Nations administrative office for the band government of the Wood Mountain Lakota First Nation.
