Delmas is a hamlet in Battle River Rural Municipality No. 438, Saskatchewan, Canada. Listed as a designated place by Statistics Canada, the hamlet had a population of 128 in the Canada 2016 Census. The hamlet is located approximately west of North Battleford on Highway 16.

In 1900 Father Henri Delmas, OMI was posted to the Thunderchild mission northwest of North Battleford. He and another priest filed side-by-side homestead quarters, and he established the St. Henri of Thunderchild residential school at the south end of his quarter. In 1901 when the Canadian Northern Railway built a siding near the school, it gave it the name Delmas. Source:Barry, Bill. People Places : Saskatchewan and Its Names
