Burstall is a small town in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, within the Rural Municipality of Deer Forks No. 232.

During past summers, the local Lions Club organized an activity known as Summer Slam. The main economies in the area are natural gas, wheat, and cattle farming.

Starting around 1978, the town committee began a calendar that has everyone's birthday, anniversary and passing noted for each day.
