Saskatchewan Highway 7 is a major paved provincial highway in Saskatchewan, Canada, running from the border with Alberta east to the city of Saskatoon. It continues west into Alberta as Alberta Highway 9. Highway 7 is an important trade and travel route linking Saskatoon with several of its bedroom communities, such as Delisle and Vanscoy, as well as larger centres farther west, such as Rosetown and Kindersley. Its primary use, however, is by travellers heading for Calgary, Alberta, and the Canadian West Coast. Extensive oil exploration and development has been occurring in the region since 2010, primarily around Kindersley, from Brock to the Alberta border. Heavy traffic, agriculture, grain transport, and oilfield service, as well as oil and fuel transports, are common on this highway.

The highway is about 254 kilometres (158 mi) long. Most of it is two-lanes with less than 40 kilometres (25 mi) being four-laned. In addition to the twinned sections, there are over 25 passing lanes along the highway to ease the flow of traffic. Many of those passing lanes were constructed post-2014 to improve highway safety and flow as traffic during the 2010s had increased by 20 per cent.
