Langham is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is on Highway 16, surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344, and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of the city of Saskatoon. The 2011 census reported a population of 1,290, with 489 homes in the community.
Originally, the area was primarily settled by Mennonites. Langham was named after E. Langham, a purchasing agent for the Canadian National Railway.
