Kindersley 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 for the 18th Saskatchewan general election in 1975.

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.

For the next general election, the riding will gain significant territory from Rosetown-Elrose and Biggar-Sask Valley centered around the town of Biggar, and will lose a small area south of Kindersley to Cypress Hills. Accordingly, the riding will be renamed Kindersley-Biggar.
