Parshall (Hidatsa: 'dibiarugareesh') is a city lying within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation. It is located on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in Mountrail County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 949 at the 2020 census. Parshall was founded in 1914 by George Parshall, and is the home of the Paul Broste Rock Museum.

On February 15, 1936, Parshall recorded a temperature of -60 °F (-51 °C), setting a state record low temperature, which still stands today. Relatively nearby Steele, ND recorded a state record high of 121 °F (49 °C) less than five months later.

During the calendar year 1934, in the midst of the severe multi-year drought that affected most of North America during much of the 1930s, Parshall recorded a total of 4.02 in (101 mm) of precipitation, less than 12 per cent of the long-term normal and much drier than is normally the case in much of the Sonoran Desert.

Randy Hedberg, a former NFL quarterback, was born and raised in Parshall. Another notable native of Parshall is Raymond Cross, a stand out high school basketball player and now a law professor in Montana.
