Wheat Basin is a ghost town in Stillwater County, Montana, United States.

[3] By the summer of 1917, the railroad had been completed, the Riopel family had opened a mercantile store there and the postal service in Washington, D.C. changed Nora's name to Wheat Basin in 1918.

The town supported a developed main street with a grain elevator, a bank, stores, a dance hall and lumber yards.

A post office was open in 1918 with Frances Riopel serving as postmaster; it remained in operation until 1936.

The murder victims were Michael and Frieda Kuntz, who ran the "Occidental Grain Elevator."
