Broadview is a community in Saskatchewan along the #1 highway, the Trans Canada Highway, 155 kilometres (96 mi) east of Regina. The local economy is based mainly on agriculture.

The North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) set up a divisional post in Broadview in 1885. Sergeant Bill, a goat from Broadview served as the mascot for the 5th Battalion, CEF, during World War I. The goat received a decoration, and after its passing resides now in the Broadview Museum. The Broadview railway station was designated a historic railway station in 1992.
