Vanguard (2016 population: 134) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Whiska Creek No.

Its prime economic driver is agriculture: chick peas; lentils; red, spring, hard and durum wheats are grown here.

Recent publications state that the inspiration for the name of the village came from HMS Vanguard which was commissioned in 1909 and exploded in 1917, killing 843 of the 845 men aboard.
