Ponteix (, ) is a town in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, southeast of Swift Current. It is on Highway 628, just north of Highway 13.
== History == In 1908, Father Albert-Marie Royer from the Auvergne region in France established a parish and hamlet called Notre-Dame d’Auvergne north of Notukeu Creek. Five years later, the townsite was moved south of the creek when the Canadian Pacific Railway laid track there. After the move, the community was renamed Ponteix after Father Royer's former parish in France (Le Ponteix, commune of Aydat).
