St. Boswells is a hamlet in Glen Bain Rural Municipality No. 105, Saskatchewan, Canada. The hamlet is about 8 km east of Highway 19, and about 25 km northwest of the town of Gravelbourg. Very little remains of the former village except a well known as the best water around, and sidewalks which mark the once prosperous business section of St. Boswells.
St. Boswells was a railroad town founded in 1918, as a Canadian National Railway point along the line from Moose Jaw to Neidpath, though the surrounding area had been settled at least a decade earlier. Named after Alex Dow's, hometown of St. Boswells, Roxburghshire, Scotland. St. Boswells was chosen as the name for the community's first post office.
