Wolseley (Saskatchewan electoral district)

Wolseley was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Centred on the town of Wolseley, it was one of 25 constituencies created for the 1st Saskatchewan general election in 1905.

Created as "Wolseley" before 1905, the district was redrawn and renamed "Moose Mountain" in 1908. Redrawn and renamed again in 1921, the riding was abolished before the 8th Saskatchewan general election in 1934 into Qu'Appelle-Wolseley and Moosomin.

It is now part of the constituencies of Indian Head-Milestone and Moosomin.
