Notukeu (electoral district)

Notukeu (/ˈnɒtəkj/) was a provincial electoral division for the Legislative Assembly of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, located south of Old Wives Lake. This district was created before the 3rd provincial election in 1912 as "Pinto Creek", after the rural municipality and the creek that flows through it. Redrawn and renamed "Notukeu" for the 1917 provincial election, the constituency was dissolved and combined with the Willow Bunch district (as Notukeu-Willow Bunch) before the 9th provincial election in 1938.

It is now part of the Wood River constituency.
