The 1986 Saskatchewan general election, the twenty-first in the history of the province, was held on October 20, 1986, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

Summary

The Progressive Conservative government of Premier Grant Devine was returned for a second term with a reduced majority in the legislature. While the New Democratic Party managed to significantly increase its share of the popular vote and its presence in the legislature, former Premier Allan Blakeney's attempt to return to power was unsuccessful. Despite winning more votes than the Tories, much of the NDP margin was seen in landslides in the major urban centres of Regina and Saskatoon—while the party won eight seats in each of those cities, the NDP won only nine seats throughout the rest of the province. As a result, they were consigned to Official Opposition status for another term. The Liberal Party captured almost 10% of the popular vote, but elected only one member—party leader Ralph Goodale—to the legislature.
