Ravenscrag is an unincorporated community in the southwestern part of Saskatchewan located on Highway 614, along the Frenchman River, 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border and about 185 kilometres (115 mi) southwest of Swift Current.

Ravenscrag was once a community of over 100 people. Since the Great Depression the town's population has since dropped to just one family.

The settlement gave its name to the Ravencrag Formation, a stratigraphical unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, defined in 1918 by N.B. Davis at Ravenscrag Butte. The formation lies north-east of the community.
