Masefield is an unincorporated community within the Rural Municipality of Val Marie No.

The community is located on Highway 18, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of Val Marie.

[5] Masefield once contained a store, lumber yard, pool hall, cafe, and blacksmith shop, as well as a three-room schoolhouse and three grain elevators.

Crop failures began in 1925, causing many residents to take out new farms at Hays, Alberta, where a new irrigation project was being installed.

Although no business operates in the community today, its name survives in the nearby Masefield Pasture, which is co-operatively managed.
