Consul is a village in southwest Saskatchewan, within the Rural Municipality of Reno No. 51. It incorporated as a village on June 12, 1917.
The historic Red Coat Trail and Highway 21 pass through the village, which lies about 211 kilometres southwest of Swift Current. Consul is known for having one of the last grain elevators still standing in the region.
Today the village has a bakery, motel, Co-Op, credit union, hair salon and baseball diamonds. Consul School, part of the Chinook School Division, teaches students from Kindergarten to Grade 12, about 70 of them, in the extreme southwest corner of the province.
